Mike, you just counter right back, "How long is she going to feel sorry for having killed her baby?"

tried that. If someones dead set they must be right, and filters anything through that might suggest they are wrong, well you might as well be trying to reason to a brick wall.

What I have to wonder about is that, this embryo or fetus is obviously going to be a human in about nine months by anyones standard, so even if its not believed to be alive early on, isn't destroying the fetus preventing it from being alive? Isn't that pretty close to murder, or at the very least stealing a life?

Mike, it is alive! It is growing every second! Perhaps before it actually looks like a baby they don't think of the fetus as a baby, but it is still a baby. At the fourth week of development, according to my old Maternity Care Nursing textbook, "the heart develops; double chambers visible; begins to beat; Aortic arches and major veins completed". I think the Supreme Court Justices need to spend some time with some Obstetricians on site!
