A foetus has the potential to become a human being, but you cannot equate it with a human being. That is like saying an acorn is the same as an oak tree. you wish to devalue a woman's life, her hopes and her expectations as you seem to think that we are just breeding vessels. Well you can shove your misogynistic claptrap where the sun doesn't shine because this meeting is going ahead and you bigots can sod off.
