When any other person can step in to provide in the biological mother's stead, then that is a viable person.
Have I made this clear enough now?
Ok, so now my question is why does that make a human a person? What is the reasoning behind that definition?
This is getting down to a semantics battle.
That actually doesn't concern me as much as the reasoning behind abortion. A woman should be able to decide when she doesn't want to care for another life in any form at any time. This is why we have adoption for viable children. If that life is still relying entirely on that person's body and another cannot take over, then that does not mean it owns any right to that person's body.
