seems sound. If abortion is only the ending of a potential human...or matter than is not human yet, thus not achieving personhood...then its only potentially male or potentially female or white or black, etc, etc. Certainly the growth's humanity would need to be established if the gender or race were to be considered. If not...its just a female thing or a male thing or a black thing, or a brown thing, or a white thing, etc. But not a person...not a human.

....not that there's anything wrong with that!!!
