It is not demonstrable that killing fetuses is killing persons.

Go to 1000 couples that are about to have a baby. Ask them if killing their fetus is the same as killing their baby. 100% will say yes.

The definition of murder should not be left to the perpetrator.

Bingo. For abortophiles the fetus is a "person" if the mother wants it, and not a "person" if she doesn't want it. The personhood of the fetus is wholly dependent on the whims of the mother.

Yes it is.

Actually, it isn't. "Person" in this sense is a legal term, not a medical or scientific one.

It thus has no inherent meaning at all, but only what is assigned it by the legal system, which in this case means a single swing voter on the Supreme Court.

What the pro-choice people never seem to realize is that women, Jews, blacks, homosexuals, old people, crippled people and any other of their favorite groups could equally well be classified as non-persons using exactly the same procedure.

esp considering that the word ‘fetuses’ means nothing more than *unborn child*

It’s only a baby if the parents want it. If they don’t want it it’s NOT a baby.
