t meant that even men were open hearted enough to realize that child was alive (just like the monkey at the zoo is alive).

I'm not denying that a fetus is alive. I am questioning whether that life is human, or at what stage it becomes human.
I don't think anyone would deny a fetus is "alive." But the fact that it's alive isn't enough to be anti-abortion. We kill living things all the time: when we boil a lobster for dinner, when we uproot a tree in our yard. SO to me, the question of whether it is HUMAN life or some other kind of life (right, I'm using "lifeform" b/c I don't know what to call it-- I do not believe that technology has "proved" a fetus/embryo is a baby), is very relevant.
OK, I think I am done with this conversation. You must all think I'm nuts, saying I am prolife and talking like this. Well, I've been prolife my entire life, and stuck to that conviction when I got pregnant and placed my daughter for adoption.
I just hate to see pro-choice people labeled as "murderers" or "disrespectful of life" or "uneducated." There are many, many people in this world who are pro-choice, and they are worthy of respect.
