There's absolutely nothing humane about slicing a baby into tiny bits, regardless of where it is in it's development.
You missed my point. With regard to the issue of when life begins, Roe is more humane than the Singer or Pinker school of thought; the post-Roe orthodoxy is that live birth is necessary for personhood, as in this case. The philosophers and pseudoethicists suggest that personhood may come about later than that. I would think it's not that far of a leap to suggest that full-blown infanticide would become a reality.
Do you see now?

There's a college professor on the East Coast who stated in class that a mother has the right to kill her baby up to 1-2 years after birth because the baby isn't aware of it's surrounding to be considered "human". He also advocates that the elderly who cannot take care of themselves any longer should not be classified as "human" because they have lost that status through dependency on others for basic needs.
