Ah the ole' slippery slope arguement.
There's big difference, whether you want to admit it or not, between a child that has come out of the womb that lives, breathes and eats on it's own, has a name, social security number, i.e. officially a person; and an unborn fetus that's physically attached to the mother and depends on her solely for it's survival. A man beating his children is wrong because they are born, living, fully sentient beings. A man beating his wife is wrong because, again, one person is deprieving the rights of another living, fully sentient, aware being. Same with murder. Unborn fetuses on the other hand, aren't sentient. They have no awareness whatesoever, therefore not sentient because they do not have functioning brains. However, personally I"m against late term abortions because I feel that babies that can survive on their own outside the womb are legitimately a person. But that's NOT for me to decide. Nor is it for you, nor the government.
