Abortion Viewed in Moral Terms

@FNM, I recommend you read up on embryology, instead of pregnancy info, to get some perspective. A fetal heart is actually very different from a baby's heart, and functions very differently as well, because the lungs don't work in a fetus. As for when a heart beat is detected, that has never been relevant for me, since a heartbeat is needed once the fetus gets big enough to facilitate blood transfusion, but before the heart was developed, the fetus was still there, still receiving oxygen through blood. As for detection, that's even less relevant, if a heart beat was there, but not detected, it's still there. So I'm not sure why that's where you choose to draw the line, but I agree that it probably is emotional, since you sound like you've been through a pregnancy.
