CMV: Fetuses are human beings, viable or not.

I'm pro-choice. Despite my dislike of abortions (I don't know if anyone really *likes* abortions), I believe they are necessary and crucial for many reasons and situations. However, I can't be convinced that fetuses are not people/human beings; embryos being a different story. I've even heard people say that a baby isn't alive until it's born. I don't get that either.

Maybe I'm seeing it from an emotional point of view, but in my opinion a fetus is alive (it's growing, changing) and it is a human being. 

So, please give me a different perspective to help my tiny mind make sense of this.


EDIT: I'm going to pick this up tomorrow. I am up way past my bedtime, but I do want to answer more of your comments and converse further. I'm seeing a whole new side of this subject. It makes things clearer for me. Thank you!

Do you think an acorn is an oak tree?  An acorn will become a tree but no one calls an acorn a tree even though every oak tree began an acorn and every acorn has potential to be become an oak tree.  

The majority of people who are pro-choice don't deny that a fetus is alive or that a fetus is a human being at a fetal stage.  

I am curious why you feel differently about an embryo.  Can you tell exactly what point an embryo becomes a fetus?  What makes a difference between them?
