"Now, as this fetus cannot survive outside of the womb independantly it is not considered human - it is a POTENTIAL human... to remove a fetus that cannot survive on tis own is not murder. "
Question: If a human fetus is not considered human because it cannot live independently from its parent, and therefore is not murder to kill it, what's to stop anyone else from making the decision to abort a fetus (husband, boyfriend, doctor, government, some dude on the street, etc), since it is not classified as human?
Is abortion a case of creating a law to remove guilt over removing unwanted children by murder?
