I just using your arguments. What you call a fetus I call a human being. I'm just saying if breathing is life, as you say in your argument as to what constitutes a human being, than my analogy stands that any human being that cannot breathe is not a human being by your own words. I don't believe that, but that was your argument.
If a baby is born prematurely at 5 months and doctors work hard to help the baby survive, I'd imagine you'd be alright with that.
If a baby is 5 months in the womb (exactly the same baby) and is aborted, you call it a fetus, give your blessing to have that human life destroyed and sleep well at night. I'm sorry, but you'll never convince me that it's not infanticide.
