![Person 1 (our hero): I’d say there’s a certain fundamental equality between you, me, and billions of others. Person 2: Yeah, I agree. Person 1 (our hero): That’s kind of amazing.

Fundamental Equality
On all sides of the abortion debate, most people agree that those of us outside the womb have equal value — we’re all members of an “equal rights club.” Ask what we have in common that makes us equal, and listen carefully to the answer.
We think a good answer is simply that we’re all living human organisms. A fetus is also a living human organism, so if we’re correct, then a fetus is a member of the equal rights club too.
