53. "Not To Worry" Ha!
You are implying causality I assume? You are arguing that the only reason fetuses are not legally human is so that women can get abortions, correct? I do not off the top of my head know the medical arguments for the status of the fetus, but I'm sure they are out there. Sorry to disappoint. As far as I can see there is another reason for this, that is the use of embryos in stem cell research.
I wish I knew the whole battle behind the legal status of the fetus, but if I was alive when most of it took place I was probably still learning to talk properly. As I stated above, I'm not an expert.

"You still think that this is unbelievably off-topic??" No, I will concede that you have debated quite well. That said, I find it rather odd to be arguing "person-hood" on DU. I must get out of the Lounge more.
