If 'life is life' then this is not so; if something is a child only after
it is born this is not so, either.

To call what is growing inside a woman a 'baby' is like calling a
junior-high-school student 'a voter'... that status is not legally
attained until later.

Medicaid... isn't that a social-assistance program which uses tax dollars
taken from others?

This is the equivalent of saying that your goal was to brainwash a woman
into accepting an unwanted pregnancy so that your church would have
another tithing member; the logic on either side is... questionable, to
say the least.
