It's part of the process of life, therefore, it should be considered the beginning of the process, therefore, should be considered a growing life form.
That's nice but I asked you what makes this a person.

I've told you that. Because an actual objective authority determined that consciousness doesn't occur until 22 weeks. I've told you this three times now. I also told you that I'm my scenario, the pregnant woman isnt "forced" to keep her child unless she knowingly goes 16+ weeks without getting the job done. It's called a deadline. If you're not familiar with them, you should be
Your emotion is not objective. My emotion is not objective. Objectivity is necessary when making decisions
Do not confuse your distaste with my opinion for an unanswered question. That's dishonest
I also think glassjester knows that you didn't mean the fetus becomes conscious but by harping on that word he can avoid the point you made.
Yes, I reject parts of a book that encourages genocide, says Earth is flat and 6000 years old, and has laws designed for a primitive societal world with 80% fewer people on it.
The fact that you accept all of that undermines your feelings that you are intelligent.
1. "Little ones" is a term reserved for living human children, not unconscious and unfeeling collections of cells.
Science (a much better authority on birth and consciousness than a book written by shepherds)...
has best determined the point of consciousness to occur at about 22 weeks.

The post-grunge hipster flannel, skanky tats and Palestinian death scarf are a nice touch, don't you think?

2. Both sides of my family immigrated here in the 20th century. There's no slavery in my background.
I noticed something in your post? Did you? You answered none of my questions. I suggest you take that massive, genius brain of yours and learn how to hold a two-way conversation
It's not perfect because dogs can't get abortions. What they have instead is neutering. That does the same job: eliminating unwanted offspring.
Abraham and Moses were shepherds, as was about 90 % of the rural world at the time. I'd suggest a quick religion or history course if you want confirmation
How about Devil Boy takes a shot at it?
Do you really think they had any understanding of when a ball of cells becomes a child 3000 years ago? The didn't even know what cells were until 200 or so years ago.
Even if they did, was there even a word for "fetus" at the time? I doubt that
Life begins at conception. You would have to refute that well established fact to even begin to make an argument for abortion not being murder.Actually, my determination is based on the objective authority of science. What objective authority did you base your opinion on?
Not clear what you're asking for here
2. Quite irrelevant. He is on record-the Constitution is not valid-written how long ago, by many slave owners?"
I'm not basing my abortion opinions on a 4000 year old manuscript written by shepherds.
3. Prove Washington existed. Seen him? Heard him? Touched him? Smelled him? Examined his remains? All you have, as your "proof," is what historians, who were probably drunk, wrote about him, 200+ years ago, lost one."
We have all sorts of papers about Washington's estates and the slaves he owned. We have corroboration of his existence from tens of not hundreds of firsthand sources.

That being said, I absolutely think Jesus existed too. They might've found his tomb recently. You missed the point.

The only reason you prefer Christianity to Islam or any other religion is that you were born into it. You have no actual basis as to why Christianity is correct and Islam isn't.
"You have no actual basis as to why Christianity is correct and Islam isn't.
Once again, your self-perceived level of intelligence let's you down
What are your thoughts on forensics? Can a crime be solved if no one was there to witness it?

Life beginning at conception is your belief, not a fact
We'll chock that up as another dodge by you. Shocking
And according to Islam, Jesus never died but was sucked up to Paradise while a dummy body was left on the cross.
You keep dodging.
The resurrection. There is more evidence for it, than most historical events that you/most accept at face value as having happened.
How can you prove that Christianity is correct? Well educated Muslims all over the world think it's laughable/blasphemous to believe that a man could be both God and God's son. They say that doesn't make any sense. Why is your way better than theirs?
They say that doesn't make any sense.
the fertilized egg is not alive? :freak:
Is this a human?
I beg to differ:Life beginning at conception is your belief, not a fact
"Human development begins after the union of male and female gametes or germ cells during a process known as*fertilization*(conception)."
