It got very long and I may have to corral it into something more reasonable. The gist of it was, if it's an abortion analogy intentionally, it's a commentary on the opposite extreme of "life begins at conception" being "life begins after the cord is cut." . I haveno problems with someone calling a life hatching-in-40-minutes after 100 million years of gestation a "baby" even if it's not technically been born yet. ethical considerations are different at that stage of gestation. Ignoring for now the complications of the analogy like, "it's a giant alien that may be nothing more sentient than a lobster"
