Not every fetus makes it to birth. You're also using wrong terms like child. A fetus can't be a child by definition.

I'm actually not fond of making that distinction, despite being pro-choice. It always feels to me like it's trying to downplay the gravity of the situation. As pro-choice as I am, I do recognize that abortion entails taking a human life. Any effort to say it doesn't strikes me as arbitrarily drawing the line for "human life" where it's most convenient/comfortable, and I don't like that at all. I just also recognize that sometimes taking a life is the lesser of two evils, and provided the choice is made with the appropriate seriousness (and it usually is, as much as pro-lifers like to bring up fringe cases of women who have abortions for fun), I'm not going to tell anyone they can't make it.
