I eagerly await your explanation as to why it should be a federal right to kill something that is, at a minimum, a living multicellular organism that will soon become a human.

No, I'm saying that's the absolute bare minimum anyone could possibly consider a fetus to be. My opinion is that it is a human life. We have essentially no understanding of what exactly consciousness is or where it comes from, and until we do any claim of a specific stage at which it begins to exist is only a guess. And still you have not made any case for why it should be a federal right to kill the organism in question.

WHY SHOULD IT BE A FEDERAL RIGHT TO KILL SOMETHING

I think this is at the center of the debate. When does life begin? I don't think most pro-choicers think they are killing a human life. Most pro-lifers think they are. I am not religious, but the moment I saw my son in the delivery room, I changed my opinion on abortion. The scientific community draws the line for a fertilized egg at 14 days for ethical reasons.

If ever... and that is a big if.
