You remove a four week old fetus from the mother's womb and it's not going to stay alive very long. It will be alive as long as it's support remains.

Therefore me killing you isn't killing a life, only a potential life.
So killing you isn't killing a human?
I'm not a human. I'm a kumquat.
I exist. A person. Killing a person that currently exists is murder. Removing the possibility of someone that might exist in the future isn't murder. It's just a choice.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
