No amount of love, breast milk and diaper changing will keep a fetus alive if it is not hooked up to an independent life form (a human being). It cannot engage in homeostasis on its own.
A fetus is a non-sentient living being with human DNA. It cannot think or feel, and it is not aware of its own existence.
Is it okay to shoot someone who is hooked up to a heart/lung machine? Those people aren't viable either.
Viability as a rationale for deciding which human beings can be killed and which can't is silly.
This one is even more desperate than the last. Try answering honestly.

No..No..No...its not a dodge. You brought up the viability angle and I demolished it. Viability as a rationale is nonsense.
You demolished it? You are fucking delusional.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
