You are aware we have advanced medical image equipment that doesn't note any difference between a "baby" before or after it goes thru the "magic vagina time tunnel"! Or is this some video game logic that if you are able to successfully escape thru this Magic tunnel, you are given life and extra points! but if the evil gate keeper is able to stop you and crush your skull just before escaping, you are awarded death! Before its passage through the "magic vagina time tunnel" (anyone playing the CM drinking game, take a shot!), the baby is completely contained within the body of his or her mother, with profound impacts on the woman's size, shape, hormones, health, and emotions. After birth, the baby is not. It's intriguing and probably more than a little revealing that your "pro-life" post reduces the mother to a "tunnel." Ditto for your comparison of childbirth--aptly described by scientist-journalist Barbara Ehrenreich, who's been through it twice, as "a physiological crisis which is occasionally fatal and almost always excruciatingly painful"--with a video game.
