an arbitrary benchmark used to justify abortion. The test does not hold up to pure reason.

The magic that defines a person occurs at conception, when the lil' feller gets its unique DNA.

Also, your use of "potential person" doesn't differentiate between a zygote and a baby that will be born naturally tomorrow, does it?

The fact of the matter is that abortion kills the fetus' potential to become a living, breathing person, and most of the 3,600 abortions a day in the US are performed for lazy slobs who do not take personal responsibility for their lives ... and intelligent folks want to stand up for these people and justify and dignify their irresponsibility in the name of "choice"? Total bullshit! These people should be publicly chastized and sent packing.
