It could be classified as a human being, depending on how you define "human being" (which is a particularly woolly term). Under many definitions, however, a human being effectively means post-birth, in which case a fetus is not a human being.

I'm not running from anything. I have no problem accepting that a human fetus is human; an organism with the potential to be a human person. The fact you want to describe insensate bundles of cells with all sorts of terminologies implying faculties and capabilities they don't have leads me to suspect you are the one running from something.

They are people, you can't run from this. Future generations will look at you with disgust for continuing to pretend otherwise in the age of modern medicine.

If you just take it to its most extreme, almost nobody agrees that a fetus isn't human. Probably 99.9% of people would be disgusted on an abortion purely out of choice of a 9 month pregnancy. Thus, that proves there's at least a line where it's immoral/unethical. Then, where should we put that line at as a society?

Don't pretend. We all know you were talking about the women.

Actually, I believe him. That he used a formulation that allows for the interpretation of referring to the mothers I attribute to the fact that everyone can make a mistake.

Man...even the Transgender politician couldn't wait to throw the T from the LGBT away as soon as it was politically convenient...

I'm so very tired of being correct with my predictions all the time

What mask? When did I ever say different?

You know, I was going to say the same thing, but for different reasons.

Why is this a question? The line is "never choose to kill." There's not a point where it becomes immoral, that choice is always immoral.
