The abortion pill isn't Plan B.
Plan B contains levonorgestrel & is used to prevent ovulation.
The abortion pill (actually two pills) is mifepristone & misoprostol, which respectively break down the uterine lining & cause contractions to abort the embryo.

Embryos and fetuses are our prenatal children. "Children" refers to their relationship to us, "embryo" & "fetus" refer to their developmental stages. The terms aren't mutually exclusive.

"Fetuses don't get special rights." Agreed. The right to not be electively killed in utero isn't a special right. It's a right *every single one of us* should have had when we were in that vulnerable position, and a right embryos and fetuses should have today.

Most pro-lifers are religious. And most pro-choicers are religious. Because most of the U.S. is religious. None of that means either side has to be basing their views solely on religion--or on religion at all.

Brain dead people are not analogous to fetuses. Brain dead people won't regain function. Fetuses will gain the neural capabilities you're describing. The better analogy is a comatose patient who will almost certainly wake up in a few months. Would you still unplug that person?

You can simultaneously have empathy for women in difficult circumstances and also for the prenatal humans abortion kills. The difference between pro-choice and pro-life viewpoints isn't a lack of empathy; it's how we view embryos and fetuses.
