Pro-Choice feminist; death of fetus in abortion is “real death”

“Clinging to a rhetoric about abortion in which there is no life and no death, we entangle our beliefs in a series of self-delusions, fibs and evasions.

Pro-Choice feminist Naomi Wolf

Naomi Wolf, “Our Bodies, Our Souls,” The New Republic, October 16, 1995, 26.

Professor: “The infant is not fully human”

Of course, an infant is not fully human…. I have little sympathy with the idea that infanticide is just another form of murder. Persons who are already functionally persons in the full sense have more important rights even than infants.

Dr. Charles Hartshorne of the University of Texas at Austin

Charles Hartshorne, “Concerning Abortion: An Attempt at a Rational View,” Christian Century, 21 January, 1981, 42-5

Does this follow naturally from the pro-choice position that preborn babies are alive but not “persons”?
