From one woman who had an abortion:
“For me there wasn’t a moral question… I don’t have a problem with this fetus thing, either – if it dies or lives and all this sort of thing. I mean, I don’t ever remember wondering if the fetus thing lives, but I believe that the self is the most important thing…. And I think my friend Jenny said that a baby isn’t a baby until you love it, and I think that that’s a part of it. It wasn’t a person yet. It was a possibility that was on its way, but one that I couldn’t have then.”

Above: If I love this being above, does that make him a baby? If I stop loving him, does he go back to not being a baby again?
