As the Baptist Press, a news service affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, wrote in 2015:
... In 1970, a poll conducted by the Baptist Sunday School Board found that 70 percent of Southern Baptist pastors supported abortion to protect the mental or physical health of the mother, 64 percent supported abortion in cases of fetal deformity and 71 percent in cases of rape. Three years later, a poll conducted by the Baptist Standard news journal found that 90 percent of Texas Baptists believed their state’s abortion laws were too restrictive.”
The famed evangelical theologian Norman Geisler put it in the clearest terms in the 1971 and 1975 versions of his work
Christian Ethics: “The embryo is not fully human — it is an undeveloped person.”
It’s not Protestants, but Catholics in the United States who, as a religious community, have opposed abortion forcefully going back to the 19th century, and it is in Catholicism that we find the view that life begins at conception. Starting with
an 1869 document called Apostolicae Sedis, Pope Pius IX declared the penalty of excommunication for abortions at any stage of pregnancy.

You can call an unborn child, a human person. The truth is it’s an under developed in person that is not protected by the US Constitution until a stage of development known as being born.
I take it as gospel what famed evangelical theologian Norman Geisler put in the clearest terms in his work
Christian Ethics:
“The embryo is not fully human — it is an undeveloped person.”
I have no problem with calling an “undeveloped person” in the womb a baby. Unborn babies are not protected as individuals in the United States Constitution. You need to learn to deal with that truth.
