Any woman at risk of death in childbirth in the States can get an abortion. The point about sentience was initially re horses to be fair although i do believe that the sentience of the unborn, especially in the later stages, is conveniently underplayed. You are correct regarding emotions. If I could influence the powers that be to feel the horror that some 40 million unborn are destroyed worldwide, often in some degree of agony, in the womb each year then I would gladly do it. If it is termed manipulation then I think there is a good case for having our emotions recalibrated in the face of the scale of such horror.
