TOUCHDOWN!

If lettuce were a person it would be perfectly acceptable to remove it from life support i.e. terry schiavo. Or did you disagree with that too?
You can use whatever words you want to make whatever distinctions you want. Whether the fetus is human or not doesn't matter to me. Whether abortion is murder or not doesn't matter to me. In either case even if the unborn were alive and human they would still be parasites. They become not parasites the moment they're born (but they're still kind of parasites). It doesn't even really matter to me that they're parasites, though it provides useful context.
I'm not playing games with words here. What this really comes down to is that you've decided that abortion is unacceptable and you're readily willing to rationalize this decision while i have decided that it doesn't matter and am readily willing to rationalize this decision.
