If he's part of his mother's body, it's morally okay to kill him because you wouldn't actually be killing a baby.  If he's not a part of her body, it's immoral (no matter that it's legal). Advocates of abortion insist that he is a part of his mother's body, and have often been videotaped screaming words such as, "Keep your hands off my body!" and "It's my body!  It's my body!".  Anti-abortion advocates claim the baby is a separate life, and that therefore to abort him is to kill him just as to kill you is to kill you.
