All I know is that, if left uninterrupted, 'it' will grow into a human baby. That's enough for me to see abortion as murder.
It's nice that you did make my point. Everyone who is pro- choice has that line that they draw into their comfort zone.

Fair enough. What standard does medicine use to declare the patient alive or dead. Use that on the blob of cells, aka fetus. Pass, it is alive, fail and it isn't. The mth is pretty simple.
Yes, I was once a blob of cells. Your point?
It could grow like you say but again, what's your point? I could go to medical school and be a doctor. I could go to astronaut school and be an astronaut. I could go to SEAL school and become a SEAL team member. Till I do all of those things, I am NOT. Till it can be alive, it is NOT. I don't get to call myself Dr XYZ till I pass the boards. I don't get to be an astronaut till I pass the tests. I don't get to wear the trident till I graduate.
I am more pro host. When the woman, aka host decides to say "turn out the lights, the party's over" the party is over. Her body, her rules. When you decide to eject me from your house, I have to go. Doesn't matter if it is 20 below and there isn't a house for 20 miles.
