Those of us like me who are pro early and mid term choice and pro-life late term have to choose one or the other in most polls. I usually choose pro-choice in polls and at the voting booth, because the question is usually early to mid-term abortions.
I think we're all pro-life. The only real issue is where we draw the line between organic material and a protected entity.
I think nobody cares about the physical existence. If we did, it would be illegal to pull the plug on an obviously brain-dead hospital patient; or we'd dig up corpses and hook them up to IV drips and lung machines. The fact that plugs may be pulled means that it is the potential for a human to think and feel that we cherish. And while a fetus has that potential, it hasn't achieved that potential any more than individual sperm or egg have.
