This is a ridiculous argument. So ridiculous, I am not responding to it.

I believe you and I have come to an agreement on this point before. I am not against drawing the line for abortion at sentient being. A blastula or a morula are not sentient beings. But at some point, the fetus is. That is where I would draw the line on abortion by demand/for convenience. Once the fetus becomes sentient, then I would limit the abortions to life of the mother/rape/birth defects and serious health issues.
