The whole argument that a fetus isn't a human being is specious and duplicitous. A fetus created by two humans cannot be anything other than a human infant, just as a fetus created by two dogs cannot be anything other than a puppy, and on, and on...
A fetus in the womb develops in human form. Just because it still nurtures from it's mother's body doesn't mean it isn't a human form. It simply hasn't been born physically as yet. It is a developing human. Hank, your argument is void of reason. Sorry, but that's a fact.
Secondly, your argument against government intervention into abortion is specious because it mirrors government intervention protecting abortion; which we already have and you are apparently comfortable with.
What you're missing here, and what I mentioned last night, is that our argument doesn't center around government intervention. It's all about right and wrong. The horn of the dilemma is, that we'll never achieve some modicum of right vs. wrong without some modicum of government intervention. So, we choose to side with the form of intervention that protects the womb and the fetus.
Err...ah...if you say so!
