Excerpt: 

The abortion debate really boils down to one question: does a fetus possess personhood?  We know the fetus is alive, but is it truly human? If the fetus is merely tissue, then the termination of a pregnancy is not fraught with nearly as many ethical and moral questions. But if the fetus does have personhood–if it can be considered truly and fully humanwe must look at abortion with the same gravitas as the termination of any other human being.  In that case, purely elective abortions would amount to infanticide.
