I think that human feet are incredibly unique among most species. A primate's feet are comparable, but not exactly the same. I propose an argument about feet.
Premise 1: Humans have human feet.
Premise 2: "Fetuses" have human feet at ten weeks after conception.
Therefore: Fetuses are human.
We can establish than that abortion, at least at ten weeks after conception is murder. How can we establish that?
Premise 1: Killing another human is murder.
Premise 2: A ten-week old fetus is a human.
Therefore: Killing a ten-week old fetus is murder.
Therefore, regardless of if it is moral or ethical, it should be considered a crime under our penal code to abort a "fetus" at ten weeks after conception. We can say at ten weeks after conception, or when the fetus has developed "human feet." If an animal has human feet, it must be human.
In conclusion, a fetus is most definitely human at ten weeks after conception, and it is murder to kill it.
