Correct.  If it exists inside the womb, not life.  If it exists anywhere else, other then the womb, well that's life.

Unless it's an animal womb,. then that's not life.  No wait, that's life.

It has to be a human womb that defines life.  Everything in the womb is decidedly NOT alive and is dead.  But everything in every other womb is alive.

Single cell organisms are life, just not when they're in the human womb. 

So there.

So what's the lesson here?  I myself am a pro-choice person, but I've come to recognize that I will follow the scientific definition of life and apply it equally to all organisms.  That's the Buddhist in me.  All life is created equal and is sacred.

I don't need silly definitions and differentiation's  to fool myself into thinking that my choice is anything other then sacrificing life.  Potential life, if it makes you feel better.

Some life society has deemed morally and ethically acceptable to terminate.  That's the neanderthal in all of us.
