So it's possible to affirm that a fetus is human life, but still be strongly pro-abortion.
Many people take this approach. They admit that the fetus is "human life" -- but only in a trivial sense of the term that has no serious moral relevance. They say that the principle "Killing human life is seriously wrong" requires a stronger sense of the term and doesn't apply to the unborn. So they point to an ambiguity in the word "human."
