You can question whether it is "alive". But a fetus is unquestionably not a baby, or else the word "birth" has no meaning, and I doubt even the most Pro-life of pro-lifers will ignore the physiological differences between a fetus and a baby.

I'm fine with "alive." If we stipulate the fetus is alive, then terminating that life is still problematic, wouldn't you say?



And it is especially meaningless when access to contraceptives and early abortions is vociferously objected to. Those are the ways to prevent later abortions, or any abortions. What's more we have decades of data to show that abortion rates fall with easy access to contraception.

I have never objected to contraception, even when I was religiously active. Abortion yes, contraception, no.



And another thing I don't get at all is the argument that the government will protect the fetus and prevent any woman from ending its gestation. But once it is born, any government intervention to save its life is wrong. What gives? How is that not the worst hypocrisy? How isn't that morally repugnant? I've never received a serious, satisfactory answer for that from anyone who is pro-life.

To what are you alluding here? I'm no longer religious, but I was raised in a religion that views blood transfusions as a serious violation of Biblical law. I can assure you that there have been numerous occasions, here in the USA, where the government has obtained court orders to force blood transfusions upon minor children when their parents refused to authorize them for religious reasons. This also occurs frequently with other religions who reject all modern medicine. Does that qualify as government intervening to save the life of a living child, in your opinion?
