I don’t think anyone disagrees that any stage of pregnancy will lead to a baby. The idea that they are babies, as BPG suggested*, is nonsense and the sort of rhetoric commonly used for emotional purposes.
The problem I have is that Christian ‘pro-lifers’ don’t give one hoot about life after birth, as all their decisions suggest (speaking as a generalisation), and they consider something with no sentience to be far more worth than the woman, as seen with the ridiculous attacks on women’s freedoms in recent months. No care whatsoever about that from the moralists who love preaching to others about their self-righteousness.
*An understandable argument from ideologues who want to frame it as murder. Acknowledging the fact that they are not babies makes the murder charge seem far more hollow. And, frankly, all claims to reasonable discourse on this is impossible from the pro-life side until they let the ridiculous murder charge slide. No-one sees it as impressive when murder, or even Holocaust, analogies are wheeled out. It just makes us roll eyes and think of ideological nutters who should be ignored. Rightfully so, outside of countries with theocratic impulses.
