claiming that the fetus isn't a life,

Few if any claim a fetus isn't life. Of course it is alive. But many things are alive such as the skin cells I shave off with my beard. The only important question is whether that life is wanted or if it is a weed.

Just like I told Ted, you come up with any sort of "nuance" claiming that the fetus isn't a life, and you'll always end up tripping over yourself.

Yet, you conveniently ignore when I point out that a fetus hardly looks human in its first weeks of development. This is a fetus at six weeks:



The eyes look like fish eyes. The umblical cord like a long tail. There is a bump where the genitalia should be. The head looks mishapen; the skin translucent.

The question isn't whether the fetus is some form of life as you state it.......after all, an amoeba is life.....but is it human life as we know it? The answer: not visually.......that's for damn sure!
