This is the new tack pro-aborts have to take, because they have completely lost the scientific argument. There is no debate about when life begins, or whether abortion kills a living human organism. Consequently, pro-aborts have to re-cast the discussion in broad, unmeasurable subjective terms like “personhood” to make the question metaphysical rather than concrete.

Of course, by doing so (i.e., insisting that abortion be legal because they believe - without evidence - that a fetus isn’t really a “person” yet, doesn’t have a “soul”, etc.) they are engaging in exactly the sort of theocratic behavior they accuse the right of.

Very well stated. The argument has always been a theological one. His position is that a Godless mother has the right to destroy her child because she does not believe God is involved. Stunning.

I was amazed by his admission, "And even if I was aware of what was happening, I do not think I would want to exist if my life was a mistake."

I believe I can prove conclusively that his life is a mistake. Certainly his thoughts demonstrate an inability to cope with reason. His every word is a mistake. This is a cry from a suicidally depressed egomaniac.

If he honestly believes that finals are the epitomy of stress he has not lived long enough to have experienced life. By his own admission he is a candidate for late term abortion.
