Lots of technical jargon to be defined here.
living human being = ? Do we take the old trimester system? Do we look at the history of how early a fetus can be born and still survive?
not technically alive = ? Now we'll start splitting biology hairs.
I do not believe that the abortion question is a matter of biology and timing, it is a matter of intent and circumstance. Just as it is wrong to kill a man with "evil" intent, I believe it is wrong to kill a fetus with "evil" intent.
I think we are mixing the Mormon take on abortion with the U.S. Legal take on abortion. Never the twain shall meet.
