Can you please tell me when the fetus reaches "personhood"?. I have seen the pic of aborted fetuses. TERRIBLE!!!!. I couldn't sleep well in months. With the shape of little persons...all mutilated...one arm here, one head there....If it's poison that is inserted, he moves to scape, because he already has the instict of survival. But of course he is trapped. The recovery of the great trauma of a rape or incest is not going to heal for the fact of killing the baby. It's not his fault. We have to fight against any possible discrimination that the mom could suffer, and offer her and the baby all our support.

I have seen those propoganda photos too. Most abortions occur in the first trimester when the fetus is no where near the size you witnessed. What I've read they don't insert any poison into a woman. They use suction. But I would agree with you that an abortion is no pancea for the trauma of rape. Maybe some women would feel better somewhat knowing that they're not carrying the potential child of a rapist. True, the fetus is innocent. But I couldn't tell a woman you have to make this sacrafice and bear this child even though you've been raped. It's not up to me to make that decision for her, and it sure as hell isn't up to the state. As far as personhood, you're a person when you are born and have finally joined the world, your community, and your family in my opinion. There's no way to protect fetuses without making the rights of the mother secondary. You will see the state jailing pregnant women and forcing them to bear children against their wills, or maybe to avoid abortion all together for chronically ill women they might force them to be sterilized. When the state gets involved in matters this personal its a disaster. Look at China. They force women to have only one child and if they try to have more they are forced to abort! Thank G-d this is America and women have choice.
