If you argue that abortion isn't destroying a life, but preventing a life from starting, does that mean that you support abortion right up until one second before birth? It seems like you're drawing a line where nothing suggests there should be one. Sure, we have "birthdays" that mark the day we were spat from our mother's womb, but they're more of a cultural/legal thing.
A baby can live outside its mothers womb quite some time prior to nine months. Does this make it okay to kill a prematurely born baby on the basis that it is still a "foetus"?
