Breathing is the mundane (that means common, ordinary, banal, unimaginative, or uneducated) word for respiration. Respiration is the sum total of the physical and chemical processes in an organism by which oxygen is conveyed to tissues and cells, and the oxidation products, carbon dioxide and water, are given off.
So yes mulp, unborns at any stage are breathing and if you had a better education, you would know this. You should have been taught that in the 5th or 6th grade.

By that definition, the tumor that Ted Kennedy has is a human life. It has human DNA, in fact it is his own DNA. And the reason tumors grow so rapidly is they can extract whatever oxygen it needs by causing blood vessels to grow to feed it just as the blastocyst causes the placenta to grow blood vessels to feed it so it can develop into the embryo. Thus the tumor is a breathing human infant.
