The fact that it is a BABY and not a fetus outside the womb at any gestational age that we can make it live disproves what you are saying... When exactly was the last time you walked up to a mother with a 35 week infant in her arms and said "cute fetus"?

Also if it is a fetus until the normal time of delivery (approx 40 weeks) may we then kill it when it is outside the womb even if it needs no medical interventions to live? Your thinking on this one is scary frog.... very scary and I am not a strict pro-lifer by any means...

I would consider a 35 week old whether inside the womb or outside the womb a human being. But I understand the crux of your question and so let me try to answer it. I am against the killing of anything that can live outside the womb whether it be inside or outside the womb. It makes no sense to me to allow the killing of something that either is or will become human which can be born and live without the mother.
