"When fertilization occurs, that is a new life. And that's why I say that I kill life," Harrison said, while denying the unborn baby is a person, "that I kill something that's potentially a person. It's not a person."

It's always interesting to see where their logic breaks down. He got the "life begins at fertilization" part right, which is pretty impressive in an abortionist. Then he tries to pull the old "personhood" semantic dodge.

First mom has her fetus killed, then she and her abortionist try to come up with a word that distracts people from the horrific truth that they have killed an innocent human being. "But it deserved to die! It didn't have enough -- what's that word again -- personhood! That's right! Hey, with 15% more personhood I might have let it live!"

It is clear in these cases who lacks "personhood," or at least who lacks humanity.

i agree, it is very very interesting to see their logic and where it breaks down.
