Sorry to be pedantic, but it is important: fetuses or embryos are aborted, they are not babies until they are born.

Totally agree in terms of a normal legal definition.

Of course different religions have different views on the more metaphysical concept, I find it interesting that it seems for Jewish people, that babies aren't considered "fully formed people" (spiritually speaking) until a number of days after birth.
