@WildStorm23 - Well, they are alive in the technical sense of the word. As in, they have a heartbeat, and move their muscles, hence the kicking. But they do not feed from their mother, like they do when breastfed after birth. They feed off their mother, using the nutrients she intakes to sustain themselves. Like parasites. And also, they do not breathe, which means they are not fully alive in the whole sense of the word. Besides, usually by the time fetus' are old enough to kick, they are too old to be terminated safely.

@Aspenflower18 - But, see, that's exactly my point. Having your own opinion is, in this case, wrong. This should be the choice of the mother, and NO ONE has the right to try and make her feel bad about it. Not even you, with your own opinions. "Babies are alive when they are in the fetus" - this just shows that you don't know very much about it anyway. Firstly, babies are not IN the fetus. An unborn baby is TERMED a fetus, because it is not actually a baby yet. Babies grow IN the womb. Secondly, as I stated above, they are not alive in all senses of the word. They move, and they have a heartbeat, but they do not breathe. So they are not living. A fetus is not considered living until it takes its first breath of air, and which point it becomes a baby, and it is now a crime to kill it, unless it is permanently damaged or crippled and will never have good quality of life. So, in conclusion, you might think you have the moral high ground, but all you're doing is making life hell for poor women who choose the only viable option to terminate their child. Abortion is a one person choice. Stop pretending that it is wrong. There is no way you can possibly understand until you have sexual relations, children, or pregnancy.
