I never said that science can dictate our moral choices. But it can present us facts upon which we can then base our moral choices. And the scientific fact is that the human PERSON has its physical beginning at biological conception.

The moral choice is then simple: "Is it right to kill innocent human beings?"

The founders of the American republic said "NO."

"No person shall be...deprived of life...without due process of law." - the U.S. Constitution

And the scientific fact is that the human PERSON has its physical beginning at biological conception.

That is not a scientific fact. It cannot be, as the concept of "person" is a legal one, not a scientific one.

I believe we as a society have made a terrible mistake in allowing abortion on demand. But science cannot get us out of the hole we have dug.

It appears we must agree to disagree. I respect your sincerity and in general agree with your position. I must respectfully submit that you are in error in claiming that science tells us who is a person under the law.

The proof to ending the argument is much simpler than all the outside religious and legal "opinions".

The embryo is indisputably human, individual and living...it moves and has a heartbeat.

If it wasn't life...you couldn't kill it.
