Don't be so pedantic. You know full well that is not what she was saying.
Abortion is legal here until 24 weeks gestation. Illegal later unless the pregnancy poses a risk to the mother's life etc.
Do I connect a 6 week old foetus with a baby? Nope. Do I connect a 30 or 35 week old foetus with a baby? A lot more so. Where the exact change happens I don't know. But you HAVE to acknowledge that not everyone feels that a foetus is a baby as soon as conception occurs.
(In fact a lot of you are so 'you can have the morning after pill' yet there are a good number of anti-abortion agencies who argue this is just as bad - the morning pill tries to prevent implantation yet actual fusing of the gametes has already occured. Contradiction, surely)
Just because YOU consider a foetus a baby at practically minus days gestation, doesn't mean that other people do.
I am so thankful that I live in a country where the legality of abortion is not even questioned.
