Are you serious?  Or do you really believe that something magical
happens
when a child is born to make it more of a person.  Your last statement
sounds like something I'd say out of sarcasm to make a point of how
silly it is to say a fetus is not a human being an hour before it's
born,
but then "becomes" one after it's born.

Please excuse me if you were jesting.  But if you were, how can your
jest be in support of abortion?
