Fetus' are unborn humans.
Humands are differentl from animals

But some beasts, such as dolphins, horses, and dogs, are intelligent also.  They have the capacity to learn, don't they?

Learning is a very touchy subject.  There are two types of learning: one that involves simply stimulus-response (classical conditioning), and one that involves reinforcement techniques (operant conditioning).  Most animals are capable of the first, and many the second.  That doesn't make them "intelligent," though.

At the risk of sounding stupid, could you provide an example of each type?

Not offhand, but here are wikipedia entries about classical conditioning and operant conditioning.

Who is to say younger children/infants/fetus' can't reason?
Maybe on a SUPER smaller level they can?

Because their brain hasn't developed. Reasoning requires experience, fetus have no experience. "On a SUPER smaller level" wtf?

Besides, it isn't intelligence alone that we basis the decision to kill fetus' on.  We also look at whether or not they are alive yet.

Babies kick in the womb, to kick it must be alive.  To kill something that is alive is murder

I saw a robot kick a ball once. Is it alive? So capital punishment is murder? We should punish those (the judge, the jury, the prosecution, the witnesses, etc.)  who put people to death, perhaps by death as well!

Capital punishment is justified murder

Its not alive, its programmed to kick...
