There's always fluid circulation going through the fetus from its conception onward. Which is the whole point of breathing in the first place.

I really do not understand this logic. I could never get why people feel it necessary to tolerate potential murder to stop it.
On a long enough timeline of abortion being illegal and this law actually being enforced, people should get the idea that they shouldn't have kids they aren't ready for. If they decide not to heed this warning it's their own fault and no one elses. There's no reason for them not to understand what kind of risk they're taking.
In the case of rape.....The jury's still out with me on how to handle that legally. I can sympathize with women who were raped and not actually taking a risk of having children, but rather having it forced on them. However, I'm never going to abide murder.
