"Once a fetus has a heartbeat you can't kill it" you say?
And you
are aware that a fetus has a beating heart by the time it is forty-two days along, right hkjabwa
??
As far as 'scraping tissue off the uterus', an embryo is no more just tissue than you are. Just like you, he or she is a living being who exhibits all the features of life,
the principal one being metabolism.

Could you please tell me who said anything of the kind?
As I wrote yesterday, your efforts to conflate divorce and elective abortion have not been - and will not be - successful.
Why?
Because one is the manipulation of a contract. The other involves the taking of a life.

Your position is certainly ambiguous: at the top of this same post, you wrote that the fetus cannot be killed once she has a heartbeat (which is six to seven weeks along)...
At the bottom of the same post, you contend that it can be open season on her as long as she is inside the uterus of her mother (which is all nine months).
Not to worry -
Your confusion and backpeddling are quite typical of the advocates of abortion-on-demand.

Excuse me? How on earth are you qualified to tell us that "the senses have not yet come alive" ? Even the most dedicated proponents of elective abortion acknowledge that by 18 to 20 weeks (the midway mark of the pregnancy), all the cerebral cortex connections are in place for fetal sensitivity to stimuli...
Doesn't matter anyway.
Even if a fetus had no "senses" he or she would obviously still be a living human being during that time.
