["Fetuses don't have feelings or memories during the first trimester (which is when most abortions are performed). Where are you getting your information about fetal development from? And why is it so wrong of me to be dismissive of the non-existent 'experiences' of a fetus?"]

You are welcome to be dismissive over whatever you like, but if you dismiss the experiences of a fetus without also dismissing the experience of a slave, you are being inconsistent.

Remember: a human fetus to an abortionist is the exact same thing as a slave to a slave master. Neither are humans. If they pose a nuisance, they are done away with.

I do not condone human slavery. Neither do I condone abortion. You are free to say that I am wrong, but you cannot say that I am logically inconsistent.

To answer your question: the Law of Biogenesis (a law of natural biology) states that all life must come from life, and that life can only create like life. Cows produce cows. Spiders produce spiders. Humans produce humans, et cetera. Cows cannot produce sheep. Dogs cannot produce cats, and owls cannot produce elephants, et cetera. From this, you must conclude that human fetuses are humans, and will never cease to be human at any point during their development.

Even a human embryo is still a human. That is why I am not wrong in calling it a human embryo, because Biogenesis will tell you that it will always match its parents.

I'm not making an argument for or against the ethics of abortion. I'm making an argument for the consistency of supporting abortion.
