- Easy! On the day before its birth, the fetus is still inside its
- mother's body. Physicially, of course, there's no real difference.

- I never said it was OK to terminate the fetus on the day before birth,
- though. Why would you need to, and besides, how could you justify the
- risk to the mother? I support the woman's right to choose to remove
- the fetus from her body at any time during the pregnancy. If she
- wants to have it removed a few days before it would normally be born,
- then just induce the birth artificially. (This is what Marilyn
- Quayle, an avid pro-lifer, did.)
