Up to 1/2 of the "Christians" in some congregations are in denial as to when life begins. Now there is human DNA to prove that life begins at conception. Don't the Japanese count the 9 months of pregnancy as the 1st year of life or something like that? Excellent post!

Aborting any unborn child is murder regardless of how the pregnancy came to be. To make any such exceptions for political expedience is to yield to the utilitarian argument so well articulated above. Anti-Bible pro-abortionists already think they own the "logic" argument--allowing exceptions only bolsters their position.

The problem is that this line of reasoning is simply an expression of how people see some as having a higher human value based on their status and/or achievements. Yep!
