When is a life, a life? I was born very prematurely, as far as those things went back then. How can someone claim to be moral, yet be in favour of legalized murder of those babies in similar situations today?
Certainly I do not think that the fetus is a person or a life (whatever that means) at four weeks, nor at conception. At best, abortion could be a necessary evil to save the life of the mother at later stages of the pregnancy.

It is a sign of a gravely malformed conscience. I think that most of those people haven't formed their own opinions, though, and mostly just regurgitate party platforms. It's not that they started from any reasonable base of knowledge and arrived at the wrong conclusion. It's just ignorance. While they could have been studying the ethical philosophers who made meaningful contributions on this topic, instead, they allowed social media and mass media to form their opinions for them.
