Why does Level of Living in Fetus Fall Short?

Even the abortionist would, I believe, allow that there is some kind of living going on in the womb. They argue only that it isn't the same.

Shouldn't we, then, expect them to be able to tell us just what that difference is?

 If a fetus is alive, just not alive enough, then just what is the element that makes our living worthy but leaves the fetus coming up short?

 Does the brain of a fetus not have thoughts? Are we sure of that? It seems we better be sure, if we are going to take its life. Or does the ability to think not matter?

Does the fetus have feelings, either emotionally or physically? How do we know that it doesn't? 'Cause if we are not right, then we are taking life from someone we perhaps shouldn't. Or, does having emotions and physical feelings just not matter?

Are there other, more important, determinants as to why the fetus is not alive enough to deserve to continue to live?

Perhaps it is that he or she is not drawing its own breath that leaves the fetus falling short of the degree of living necessary to warrant continued existence. I have seen plenty of people on oxygen, living happy lives, and no one has ever suggested that since they cannot breathe adequately on their own, they do not deserve to live. If that is not reason enough to take their lives, why is it reason enough for taking the lives of the unborn?

Why is one life valid, but another one not?
