It's just a self-serving rationalization to think you can kill it at any stage and not be murdering a human being.
Well I never thought I'd say this, but I think you're right.
When we abort a foetus we are deliberately stopping a human life. This is different from preventing a life from starting or from a life naturally aborting - we intervened. We all know this to be the case, it's an inescapable fact of the situation, but we rationalise and excuse it.
I support abortion, but I don't think we should hide from the reality of the situation.
