Save the Unborn from the Point it has Human Characteristics

   How about we save the unborn from the time it has human characteristics? The argument for abortion is that a cell is not a human, just as an egg is not a duck.
   Well, then, can we at least outlaw killing those that have developed far enough to have human characteristics? As quick as about three weeks in, we have developing brain cells and a heart beat. By no more than 12 weeks, it has the physical features of a baby. When it has the features of a human, it cannot be denied that it is a human, nor can it be denied that it is not living. Perhaps some would guess that although the brain cells are in place, they are not yet operating. If we do not know that, for certain, are we to kill it? I think when life is involved, you err on the side of life.
   What I write should not be taken to suggest I am not against abortions all the way back to conception. I am. But, I see the point of human characteristics as being a point where it cannot be denied that human life exists. With such an argument, we should push to at least save all these lives.
