We have to be careful when we use phrases like "person" and "human" when we talk about abortion and the fetus. A human refers to the species, so, regardless of development, the fetus is always human. The question is, when does this fetus become a "person", an individual who is assumed, generally, to have certain rights.
One thing I would like to bring up is: does it matter if the fetus is a person, or can feel pain at all? Judith Thomson's "A Defense of Abortion" is pretty famous for examing this question:
Judith Jarvis Thomson: A Defense of Abortion The Thomson example is very controversial. Please maintain proper composure and think carefully before responding to this hot topic.
This thread is now being monitored.
