Not for very long after its support is removed.
You remove a four week old fetus from the mother's womb and it's not going to stay alive very long. It will be alive as long as it's support remains.

Therefore me killing you isn't killing a life, only a potential life.
So killing you isn't killing a human?
I'm not a human. I'm a kumquat.
I exist. A person. Killing a person that currently exists is murder. Removing the possibility of someone that might exist in the future isn't murder. It's just a choice.

When a foetus is removed, its host body can carry on living without it, too. Usually much better off, too.

I didn't kill anything. I just removed a possibility.*

Every sperm and egg combo is a potential human. Let's ban condoms and birth control. Otherwise, we're murdering the unconceived.
The unconceived are people too!

My severed finger is classified as human.
When I use the term person or human what I mean by that is a consciousness. Human consciousness.

Please try again.
There's no human to kill with abortion. No human there. Just an undeveloped piece of human flesh.
