Yes the phrasing is key. It has the POTENTIAL to become a human being because, if allowed to develop, it's more than likely that it WILL.

and every person born has the POTENTIAL to be president of the united states.

but, until they are, they AREN'T.

until the potential to become a human being happens, a fetus is NOT a human being

What a ridiculous analogy

Most fetuses will progress to become humans

That is not true of becoming President of the US

How much longer will you come up with these nonsensical statements?

No wonder you are making them close down threads right left and centre

Wrong.

Rhode Island MAY recognise homosexual marriages from Mass, which will be difficult after We The People outlaw such ludicrous "unions" via ballot in Nov 2008

"Lynch's letter, dated Tuesday and released Wednesday, was less equivocal. "Rhode Island will recognize same sex marriages lawfully performed in Massachusetts as marriages in Rhode Island," he wrote. "
