Abortion right or wrong??

Alright, what makes a fetus human: 1. Heartbeat in a fetus can be detected two weeks after abortion. In other words, most women don't even know they're pregnant by this time, because they have missed their period only once. Also, most abortions are performed after approximately 60 days(that is eight weeks) after conception. 2. Brain waves can be detected in a fetus after approximately 6 weeks after conception. Scientists have shown that fetuses can even dream. 3. Six weeks after conception, movements of fetuses can be detected. In fact responses to touch, sound and pain have also been well documented, and these can be felt after approximately 8th week of pregnancy. 4. The record of a fetus's phenotype is already stored in its DNA. In other words, a fetus already has a destiny. Of course slicing and dicing an embryo will produce nothing more than what appears to be tissues. Well, what do you expect after such procedure, a live baby? That doesn't make sense, does it? Now let's talk about rights of fetuses in America: 1. Laci's bill( named after Laci Peterson) makes killing a baby a separate crime. In other words killing the baby will have other criminal implications. This is in America, folks. 2. Partial birth abortion has been made illegal in the United States for a reason. By then a fetus has all vital signs that point to the fact that it is alive. So, try this abortion and you'll be rotting in the cooler for eternity. 3. Bush had planned to introduce a bill to extend health-care coverage to fetuses also. I'm not sure if this bill has passed yet or not. When the issue of killing fetuses goes to court, the crux of the matter is that the matter of charging somebody rests heavily upon the judge. Now, if the judge is a liberal, he will be pro-choice, and if he's a conservative he'll be pro-life. Judges can declare a law to be unconstitutional if they so desire.
