    It's CONSCIOUSNESS that counts, not viability!

    "But it's a fetus -- unable to live without the mother's consent. It's not a baby."

    It's not a baby, but viability is not what counts.

    What counts is that THE FETUS IS NOT CONSCIOUS. It's not a BEING because it's not conscious. It's flesh, not spirit.

    Hammer on fetal consciousness and flesh vs spirit and forget about "viability", "choice" or any other distraction.

    CONSCIOUSNESS is the only thing that counts in abortion and a fetus is not conscious. It's purely flesh.
