doesn't follow? how doesn't it follow? until the baby is born, it has the potential of not making it all the way through the pregnancy. it is not a human life independent of the mother. it is part of her with the potential to become an independent human life. but that potential hasn't been met. now that i've added
potential, does that follow?

Oh, it's not an independent human life? Sure. It's dependent until it's born. Then it becomes dependent in a different way. The mechanics change, the vital need for assistance in order to survive remains. Potential remains unfulfilled.

i think this is a strawman or some other logical fallicy type deal, but here goes. yes it becomes dependent in a different way. and when it's 10 years old, it'll still be dependent in a different way. i'm 26, and i'm still dependent. i'm dependent on society for growing my food, making my clothing, being stable enough to have an environment where employment is possible. so that line of thinking really doesn't work for you. because once we're out of our mothers bodies, we're still dependent on something. the issue isn't when or how we're dependent, it's 1) it's her body and 2) the fetus isn't a seperate life. it has the potential, but not the guarantee.
