At first. But an 8 month old fetus isn't differently shaped. And we can argue semantics all we want, point is, whatever you want to call it, it's LIVING HUMAN.

An 8 month old fetus is also viable for life and won't be aborted. Before 22 weeks, it's not viable for life, it's not sentient. Therein lies the difference.

I think 3rd trimester abortions are still legal, so it is possible.

And before 22 weeks, it's not viable for life OUTSIDE the womb, but it is living.

ETA: I guess I just have a hard time grasping that all of a sudden, at 22 weeks, it's magically viable for life outside the womb, and so should be given semi-consideration for life, but before that, it's just a mass of cells, so trash it if you want.

Quick GC lesson #1:

If thread #1 on a topic turns into a trainwreck, there's about a 99.534234% chance threads #2, 3, 4, etc will turn into a trainwreck.

Quick GC lesson #2:

You can't tell people what not to post. It's like telling a teenager not to drink at a beer party...you might as well put one in their hand.

Whew Jess...step away from the keyboard! You're vicious today :P
By the way, the only reason I say the things I do is because I've somehow managed to conjure the ability to look at these issues objectively. I hope I don't come across as unfeeling...it's a part of being in the medical profession.
