I will not argue as to just when a fetus becomes a human being. That would be the subject of an entirely different post.
Nor am I expressing my own personal beliefs here. I'm merely proposing an explanation in response to the OP's "pondering".

I agree. Also I wonder why some that oppose abortion think its okay to go out and murder doctors who perform abortions. No logic there if you really believe in the sanctity of life.
