No one has answered the question, "...is the fetus a baby"? Science is pretty clear.
...
God help us, that this is even a debate!
I understand that Catholics consider all stillborns as full humans with a soul. They are given a name and are buried. When Catholics say how many children they have had, they are included in the count.
Your faith tradition is not the rest of the world. I don't believe in souls, and an early-stage fetus is not a baby. It doesn't have memories, its brain isn't doing much of anything except growing. It has the potential to become a baby, and I understand parents putting their hopes and dreams upon it. I can even understand them wondering how another mother could possibly not have the same feelings.
But you aren't the potential mother. Your feelings for fetuses, and your religious views on fetus souls, fetus limbo (or heaven), God's will, and the Pope's declarations have no weight in another person's life. They have their own beliefs, and you can't prove yours are better. And, its their own body, of which you have no right to have power over.
