I'm not suggesting we lessen the value of anything. I am suggesting we treat things for what they are. Children are generally treated as children. They are not allowed to drive, they have to be home at certain times, they don't get to watch certain movies and so on. They are not treated like adults, not even from a moral point of view.
So, treat a fetus like a fetus and not f.ex as a healthy, young child - just like you don't treat a kid like a healthy adult.
Is this so confusing? All in all, this was a minor point, but I now feel it detracts from the major one because people seem to misunderstand.
