I'm pro-choice, and that's not my argument (that abortion is morally ok because the fetus "isn't living.") It is certainly living, what else would it be, dead??
A very early fetus is "living," but not in the same sense that you and I are, at least in my opinion.
I highly doubt that you think it's wrong to kill something just because it is living.
Sometimes we kill living things because we think we are justified in doing so (as in, killing adult cows for food, when we don't really NEED to), or because we think it's the best of several bad options (in the case of abortion).
