[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a fetus isn't born yet, it isn't a little baby, OP.[/quote]

Yes it is.

I have to call myself pro-choice, because I believe that abortions should be available to women under some circumstances (and I am also right on board with all the posters on this thread who have talked about education and readily available birth control as essential, not only to help reduce the number of abortions but also just for the health of every person who is/will be sexually active!), but I cannot see this issue as black and white or ever pretend that I support the idea that abortions taking place in all possible circumstances is okay.  I am the poster who said I cried when I read the stories of the women who had the terrible diagnoses and chose to abort.  I support their choice and their right to that choice, but that doesn't mean I don't find their stories to be tragic.  I get so sick and tired of other individuals who are pro-choice who hide behind this "well, it's not really a human being" or "it's not a person yet" argument.  An abortion kills an unborn child.  Yes, that term is inflammatory, and it should be.  Pro-choice can't dismiss this reality as a way to justify their arguments any more than pro-lifers can dismiss the realities of all the children in the foster care system, etc.  The argument about abortion is about the rights of the mother vs. the rights of the fetus, not about whether or not the embryo or fetus is a human being.  If you are pro-choice, then you believe that, at least in some circumstances, the rights of the mother outweigh those of the fetus.  If you are pro-life, you believe the rights of the fetus outweight those of the mother or, at the very least, that they have equal rights.  [/quote]
