Define foetus. Is a foetus simply the state of the offspring in the time up until birth? You've already decided for yourself that a foetus is not a child, and that aborting a foetus is acceptable. Do you consider a baby born four months premature to be worthy of the title "child" or is it still a foetus, even though outside of the womb? Your dependence on strict definitions doesn't seem to work.
You have to draw the line somewhere.
Was it unreasonable for me to conclude that your sentence "You have to draw the line somewhere" as a response to my post was an indication that you agreed with what I thought were your opinions? I used your rigid definitions and logic to produce an argument, I asked questions for which your only answer was "You have to draw a line somewhere." It certainly does suggest that you were in agreement with what I proposed were your beliefs on "where to draw the line".

I find the use of the word "suddenly" in your latest post odd... What are you insinuating there?
Your earlier posts seemed to suggest that abortion was okay as long as it was performed on a foetus, therefore drawing a line. A foetus is the baby while it is in the womb. Now, suddenly, you claim you don't know where to draw the line.
