> At what point does a fetus become a human? No one really has a great answer to that question.

I have a simple and correct answer for that -- at conception. It's not a matter of if abortion kills a human being, it's a matter of if that's ok or not.



>it's a matter of if that's ok or not.

Right. This isn't a novel issue. We already have codified, lawful killing in numerous situations.

Nobody has to agree on the morality of it. You can claim and believe that your definition is correct, and someone else can equally claim and believe a different position. But an internally consistent position that all can acknowledge is that there are laws the govern killing. (It's noteworthy that these generally are the purview of individual states.)
