I disagree, despite the obvious emotional attachment you had in carrying that fetus for twenty-three weeks.
I am providing you with what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.
Being a fetus doesn't disqualify from being a person, unless that fetus is of a different species than human. "Fetus" is a stage of development, not a species. As infant, toddler, child, teen, adult and elderly are all stages of life and development, so is fetus. But anyway, I'm not wanting to turn this into an abortion thread. Point is, if the fact that my son is compromised of human dna doesn't convince you that he is a human (which is where science seems to go out the window), I'm sure you would change your mind about his humanity if I were to post a picture of him here.
"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."
