I'm not one of "those in support of abortion" but I'll bowl for the other team here for a second just to keep the game going...
The pro-choice camp bases their argument mostly on the common law.
The common definition of "life" is independant respiration and circulation. Until it is out, the cord is cut, and it is breathing on its own, it isn't a "human life" under the common law definition. Despite what the fetus "may" become or how we feel about it, the black letter law of our country does not recognize a fetus as a live human.
Ergo (I love using that word), you cannot kill that which is not alive.
