Neither I nor the vast majority of pro-lifers would agree with your assertion that a "fetus" isn't a life

I never said that a fetus is not "a life," I only said it is not born, which is when the world child is correct, and what you know it means to everyone else, and when you use the word child for an unborn fetus, you are intentionally trying to obfuscate the truth. It is just this kind of careless dishonesty that makes the pro-life movement dangerous to its own cause. Until those who really oppose abortion begin to be rational and honest in their methods, and those who are Christians, Biblical in their methods as well, they are going to do more harm than good.

(It is probably not a good idea to call a child of God an athiest, especially a bald-headed one. 2 Kings 2:22-25)

If the pro-life movement would work, I would support it. It won't work, and actually has the opposite result of the one it seeks.

Oh, please. When you say that a fetus is anything BUT a child, you are INTENTIONALLY trying to obfuscate the truth, all while rationalizing killing a child. This argument gets you nowhere.
