Alright, I'll do this one more time, so pay attention.
A fetus is human in the same way a tadpole is a frog. Yes, there's a connection between the two, but that doesn't make them equivalent. Yes, a fetus has individual DNA, but that doesn't matter. Yes, a fetus is an individual life form, but so is a tapeworm.
Is a fetus a human in the way you're trying to (dishonestly) make the claim? No. A fetus is not a human like I am a human, and trying to claim that it is would be foolish. More than that, a fetus does not have the characteristics of a person that make the killing of a person morally wrong, either; no propensity for suffering, no sensory apparatus through which it can experience the world, no brain, no mind, no memories or experiences through which a personality can be built up. A fetus is a person in the same way a statue is a person; there may be similarities, but they're only physical, and there are worlds of differences.
What you're trying to do, catfish, is draw a connection to make is seem like we're advocating the murder of living, fully cognizant human beings, and that's simply not true. Hopefully I've made the actual position a little clearer since you seem to have some difficulty understanding basic logical rationales. Now that it's all there in plain black and white, you can continue pathetically appealing to emotion and arrogantly calling everyone else fools.
It does such wonderful things for your argument, after all.
