&gt; The long-term justification for abortion will likely have to be rooted in ideas of justifiable homicide<p>Not at all. Don&#x27;t define an unborn fetus as a person.<p>You staged the setup with a question, then only included qualifications that inherently would also include an unborn fetus: alive and human. I say we must include having been born as a requirement to be a person.<p>The definition of a person no longer includes the unborn. An unborn fetus is an unborn fetus, it is not a person until it is born. There, I just solved your pre-arranged problem.
