-
- There are factual differences between a late-term fetus
- and an infant. And there are factual differences between
- a fertilized egg and a non-fertilized egg. The question
- is whether these factual differences imply moral differences.
-
- Merely asserting facts, without providing any underlying
- moral argument based on those facts, is not a very convincing
- argument. You need to show a moral difference between
- killing a newborn infant and killing a late-term fetus.
