Life or Death: Who Chooses?

e is forever fixed. Look at a human
             being 8 weeks after conception and you, yes every person here who
             can tell the difference between a man and a women, will be able
             to look at the fetus and tell me whether it is a baby boy or a
             No, a fetus is not just another part of a women's body like
             an appendix or appendage. These appendages, these perfectly
             formed tiny feel belong to a 10 week developed baby, not to his
