I think there are a lot of people like I am - they aren't "pro abortion", but they reluctantly believe it should be legal as long as it's very early.
I can't imagine how anyone could ever, ever, even consider an abortion past the earliest weeks; so I have no idea how they think. A lot of people that think like I do, though, DO think of the aborted fetus as human being, but a very early-stage, incomplete, one. A lot of young women who get an early abortion aren't "happily getting rid of their baby". A lot of them go through awful sadness and guilt when they have the procedure because they think it's better to abort an eight-week fetus than have the baby and not be able to be a good mother or have to take the chance of hoping adoptive parents will be good ones.
In other words, a lot of people hate abortion but think it should be legal (again, at least in early pregnancy). So, people who think like I do do see even early fetuses "something", and not just "nothing". Of course, something else is that a whole lot of people don't even see living children as little human beings; so how could anyone expect them to see unborn children as human beings...
