Anything can be debated. It NEEDS to be debated so that old men in dark suits won't pull the wool over everyone's eyes.

But then the debate is no longer about abortion - it is about the fetus and what it is. I can't see myself ever believing that a fetus at any stage of development is NOT a human life. I am certain that there are zillions of people whom I could never convince and are equally determined that it is a soul-less mass of cells. If they believed otherwise, the procedure in question wouldn't be called an abortion, but murder or infanticide or something else, because aside from a few truly evil people, I don't believe a person would intentionally kill their own child, a human being. So, in my thinking, people who have abortions or believe in the right to have them, must believe that the fetus is not a person. To me, that is the real debate.
