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.

I won't disagree with you. At some point a fetus does become a person in the womb as it is a developing life form. No we cannot know at what exact point this occurs so it is best to preserve this human life. Like I said I am pro-choice in the sense that I believe you make your choices before you decide to lay with a man/woman and create a life. Which is why I disagree with casual sex relationships. What on earth is casual about sex? It's an oxymoron. But this is a different discussion. Abortion is morally wrong in my view. Abortions deny millions of potential lives to come into being and represents a type of soul murder for not only the potential children but their mothers as well.
