But then when you read past the first sentence, you can see that the author doesn't understand that being a life does not automatically make you a person. Nowhere does it say that they didn't consider the fetus a life (although it's possible that it wasn't even alive at the time). It's an important distinction because legally, you can take lives as long as those lives are not afforded the right that we give "persons".
Maybe read the whole story.
