One argument that so many prochoicers use is that the fetus is not a human being. Of course, such an argument denies biological/genetic reality.
Heck, the argument denies basic English.
fe·tus1 /ˈfēdəs/ noun
- an unborn offspring of a mammal, in particular an unborn human baby more than eight weeks after conception.
synonyms: | embryo, unborn baby/child |
And "offspring," by the way, is "a person's child or children" (going back to Oxford).
So ... just by definition, aborting a human fetus involves aborting a human child.
Pax et bonum
