But what does this have to do with the mother's choice to abort if she wishes to?
I was just disputing Minimalist's claim that fetuses are not human beings under the law.....they are. I'm still burnt out from the last abortion thread so I have no intention in getting into the nuts and bolts of this one.
I don't know what the laws in America say, but (as far as I'm concerned) the abortion debate should not really be about whether or not fetuses are human beings or persons.
