Because this life is the only chance we receive to experience consciousness, we should give every human being the opportunity to experience it.

Why should we defend the unborn to experience 'consciousness'? Who taught you that 'this life is the only chance to experience consciousness', such that it is something that is intrinsically good? And how was that larger goodness rationally justified?

Do you read only half the words people write? I said I wasn't an atheist but was attempting to provide an atheistic argument against abortion.

I take it you're not interested in talking about your idiotic idea that evolutionists are promoting sexual hedonism.
