I don't think a fetus is a person, but it is human life in it's potential stage and it is absolutely wrong to destroy a potential human life. I partly understand what the so-called choice people mean when they say women should choose. BUT THE TIME FOR CHOICE IS BEFORE YOU DO THE DEED.
So every woman and every man for that matter has a choice. To cover up your indiscretion (and make no mistake that it is indiscretion because if you were happily married you wouldn't be throwing away a life you created in love) by having an abortion IS WRONG. IT'S MORALLY WRONG. Forget even about being a Christian. You get together with someone simply to bump uglies and you throw away a developing life, not to mention a parnter like a used kleenix. How is this right? Somebody please tell me?!

At some point in its development, it most definitely is a person. Having gone through my wife's five pregnancies and interacted with those babies while they were in the wound, I can attest to this personally. They interacted and responded to our gentle touches, nudges, words, etc...and they did so, each one of the five in individual ways that reflected their own personalities that were later evident outside the wound, and are still evident to this day...oldest being 25, youngest being 15.

When is that moment that they beome a person? I can't say exactly.

But I know it is before they are born.

I also know, that since every person is entitled to life, that the right to life is an unalienable right that can only be granted by God...that it is wrong for us individually or societally to make that choice for any innocent individual. In order to preserve the sanctity of life, when there is ANY chance that the developioong life is a person, we must error to the side of life. We are foolish, criminally foolish, as a society when we begin to error to the side of death and murder...and that is exactly what is happening.

...and there is a consequence, both individuallly and societally...and God will not long spare us from those stark consequences in my opinion.
