"No, the 'human child' is not fully developed after 2 weeks. Therefore, it's not a human child, it's a fetus."
Stages of development is nothing but an arbitrary standard, manufactured to relieve baby-killing advocates from guilt.
The fact is that if the abortion didn't happen that whatever you call it in the womb...at whatever the stage of development...would come out as a human.
As terrible as it is to ask a 12 year-old rape victim to endure the trauma of giving birth, added to all the trauma that child has already endured, it's one hell of a sight less evil than manufacturing an arbitrary standard of legitimacy to encourage the killing of unborn babies.
Don't give me a bunch of b"llsh't about your sympathies for the 12 year-old. You don't give a crap about kids if you can cut them up just because they don't measure up to your manufactured development standard. A child--12 days old or 12 years old--is just as deserving of protection. If you care about innocent children, you care about all innocent children.

No. Wrong. Conception is the most arbitrary standard of all. Look at a fertilized egg, if you can see it. You think that's a human life? Yet you value the fertilized egg over a 12-year old girl.

Asking? Yeah, that's what you're doing, ASKING. By putting a gun to a 12-year old's head. "You wanna make a deal?"
