The position is inconsistent. Its like they are trying to be pro-life and pro-abortion at the same time. Either a fetus has the same right to life as anyone else or it doesn't.
And I've responded numerous times to the "pro-abortion" fallacy.
People are pro-choice, not pro-abortion. The woman has the right to control her own body and reproduction. She is a living, breathing person, the fetus is not and is not viable until around the 24th week. Until that time, I prefer to give the most rights to the living person. After that date, then the issue becomes more complicated and, I personally feel, the fetus gains more rights.
