The difference between a fetus and other living things is that a it is a human being. You might disagree, but that is the major issue here: an abortion ends a human life, no matter how new or small. You might also question how a human life is more important than that of another living thing. At this point, I guess that it depends on differences in morals and beliefs, and I don't think that anything I could say would convince you to believe otherwise.

I don't buy the idea that many people are dissatisfied with their lives is a good reason for abortion, however. Any person has the potential to live any life they choose-good or bad-if they are given the chance.

As for the "there's a war going on, and that's more important" idea: that is a completely different matter to discuss altogether. One does not have to support the war and be against abortion, however. Anyhoo...
