"And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart." Galatians 6:9

A person is a person, no matter what you call them.
In the wise words of Dr. Seuss' Horton the Elephant " A person's a Person. No matter how small!"
This saying is already so true. They may be too small to recognize as Humans right now, but they are.
I believe you could even alter this slightly. "A person's a person no matter what they are called" could also be said.
Some people call unborn babies "Fetus" or "Embryo". Call them what you will, it does not change the fact that they are a human.
You can call a dollar just a sheet of green paper, but it is still a dollar.
You can call a blanket a piece
of cloth, but it is still a blanket.
You can call carrot an orange stick of vegetable matter, but it is a carrot.
Yet another variation!
"A person's a Person no matter what they look like"
We may not be able to recognize very young unborn children as humans yet, but does this mean that are not a human? No. They are a human.
And another
"A persons a person, no matter what they can do"
Disabled people are just as worthy of life as any "typical" person.
They may not be able to speak well. So what? They are still people! They may not be able to run as fast. So what? That does not take away the fact that they are human! They may not be able to learn as quick or as much, so what? They are still humans and that is that!
My little sister has Down's syndrome, ad she is amazing. She is seven now. She can read a little, she can sing, she can run, she can help with things like washing dishes and pet care. She will be making her first confession and Communion this year! She may never become a rocket scientist, but if anyone ever told be that she should have been aborted because she may not have the same capabilities as us, i don't know what i would say to them. I would be so flabbergasted. I would be mad. I would feel sorry for them. I really don't know what i would do.
I have read a quote (do not know who said it though.) that "The character of a man can be judged by how he treats those who can do nothing for him."
Think about that. An unborn child, or a disabled person, and do much for you. Well they can, but that another topic. The point is, on the outside it seems they can't do much. Are you going to be a good character, or a bad one?
So, here is my full modification is Horton's famous quote.
"A persons a person, no matter how small, what they look like, or what they are called. Who cares what they may not be able to do, they are still people like me and like you!"
