They don't even take on human characteristics until 5-6 months

Not true.


Tim, it is true.......a least up until near the end of the first trimester. Til then, they still have a tail, webbed feet and their faces look alien with eyes on the side instead of the front. The first detectable brain waves are also near the end of the first trimester. Check it out:

Also even from conception they are living beings and they are humans. They are not dead and they are not another species.

During the first trimester, I would be hard put to consider them human........mainly, they are a clump of cells going through rapid mitosis. Weirdly, the fetus seems to vaguely track the evolutionary ladder that Darwin said we have climbed to our present state....webbed feet, a tail, eyes on the sides of our heads, etc.

How many late term abortions are there? Any? It's a phony issue. Like saying let's ban bazookas in the hands of criminals. Maybe once in a blue moon. fine ban them. 99% of abortions are first trimester. First few weeks even.
