A fetus isn't a person, and doesn't become one just because you consider it to be, or because it will "one day be a human being". As I alluded to, a fertilized egg...day one.... will also be a human, one day...and that doesn't make it a person either.
Speaking of misconceptions...I was referring to abortion, above, not the circumcision of a fetus, lol.
No, you're trying to sell me the idea that legal status is somehow necessary for personhood, which is moronic.
A fetus is a person for me, not for the legal system, and not for you, if I were to guess. It still is for me. Now you might argue that doesn't matter for much, but what does that have to do with anything? Are you seriously hiding behind the law in this argument? Stooping that low?
EDIT: Ok, I understand what you were talking about, now, with the knife talk. My apologies.
