The whole pro life argument has nothing to do with the baby. It's all about the bull**** bible morals of the person doing the pro-life arguing IMO.

Yet they will condone the shooting of an fully realized adult abortion clinic worker.
There's an argument to be made that a baby is logically less worthwhile than an adult. A dog is more mentally and emotionally developed than a baby, and yet we don't grant them the same protections. Any criterion we might use to determine the "value" of a living organism is going to leave babies falling short. The only reasons we do value them as much or more than adults are parental instincts and a general instinct to perpetuate the human race.

Not that this is a logical position I care to take, but it's still a fun thought experiment.
