What? My point was that my argument isn't that a human fetus is a "potential human" in the first place. That was a strawman you created. (I don't even know what that means, honestly. Either a particular organism is a human, or it isn't.)

My argument is that a human fetus IS a human being, just as much as a human infant, human toddler, human child, human teenager, human adult, etc... and so as a human, he/she has the same right to life as a human being in all other stages of life. That is my argument.

No, I explicitly said "potential human being just like a born child is." I qualified the sense in which I used the word human, and did not make a straw man argument. You on the other hand engaged in the fallacy of contextotomy, less formally known as quote mining, and stripped the word human of the context I explicitly provided. But even if I hadn't, the point of my argument was clear in that in ignoring the very real differences between the fetus and the newborn, pro-lifers are engaged in a fallacious and bankrupt argument. But by all means, continue trying to dick your way around the argument with irrelevant deflections and making dishonest misrepresentations of what I actually said if it makes you happy. The rest of us will simply look on and shake our heads at your pathetic display. And I will point out that you are simply doubling down and repeating the argument without bothering to either answer the objection, or even acknowledge it. If you're simply going to repeat empty slogans instead of actually answering my argument, then I don't see any point in your replying at all.
