You ever talk to a woman with an unwanted pregnancy? Yes, they call it a baby. "I can't keep my baby" "I don't want this baby" "I can't have a baby now"

CJ, the point is that those who argue that the unborn child is just a "fetus" are invalidating the views of those who argue that the unborn child is a life. All of your statements such as "They don't have a personality" or "They are robots" or "They are not capable of being individuals" would have to be conditional upon the mother's decision to keep or terminate the pregnancy. Since you never laid down the condition, one could use your same logic to argue for the legalization of forced abortions, a la People's Republic of China. Of course, establishing the condition would weaken your stance on the subject. Kind of silly to say, "I don't see the fetus as a life ... oh wait, the mother does, so now I see it!" Tenchusatsu
