This kind of thinking is to my mind a demonstration of how far astray their moral compass has gone.

I've argued with a Democrat friend about this. His claim: it's not a human yet. It's a fetus. So while there is definately a moral issue at the heart of the debate I think it is more lack of basic logic that lets liberals hold a lot of their positions, including the abortion one. Someone trained in logic might ask these questions: 1) is a fetus human life (if not, what is it?) 2) is human life sacred and deserving of protection under law ? 3) QED a fetus is sacred and deserving of protection under law.

In my experience libs can't do basic logic like this, all they can do is "feel", "think" and "have opinions". There are exceptions, but this is the majority. (As we graduate fewer engineers and mathematicians and more womens studies majors I expect this trend will accelerate)

That's similar to my arguments, only I add, "If it's not human what species is it?" and "What kind of DNA does it have?" "If it has human DNA, it is a human being. QED"
