Exactly how is it so much different from a baby?  I suppose you would have been
one of the people 150 years ago saying, "they look like people but they aren't"
Saying it does not make it true.  Also, the "side-effects" you mentioned are
very downplayed whenever a women comes to have an abortion, and people complain
when groups feel they should be brought up.

With regards to the emotional issue, how are his emotions any different from
those people are trying to invoke when they tell us of all the poor incest and
rape victims?  I am not downgrading what has happened to them, it is a tragedy,
but the pro-abortion people play on emotions in the same way when they tell of
all their "hypothetical" cases that would be denied abortions.
