There are plenty of mentally handicapped people who never develop "higher brain function". Yet we don't question their humanity. Viability outside the womb depends on what kind of medical technology we have to keep them alive, and that changes with time. I don't see how it makes logical sense for that to be what someone's humanity hinges on.
Anyway, here's a picture of a baby girl born prematurely. This is not third trimmester. This in the middle of the second trimmester, at 23 weeks. To clarify, are you saying then that the thing in the picture is not a person?

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
