Unless I'm mistaken, and I'm rarely mistaken, this guy is making his argument as a pretext to dispute abortion laws. Likening the newborn to the unborn fetuses is his way of humanizing the unborn and providing them with rights that have been denied since they are not classified as human beings at that point in their development. I think his ruse will backfire as it is absurd to think a newborn is the same as a fetus.
