One of the things I find insulting in that exchange is the assumption that all people who hold a prolife position look to the bible for the justification.

Personally, my objection to abortion is based strictly on biological facts and my respect for inherent human rights.

Biblical passages have no bearing whatsoever on my position.

Good point, dead; a very good point.

Not strictly Biblical per se, however, presumably those inherent human rights were endowed by a Creator, no?

as science has progressed, it is more evident (without reverting to Biblical teaching, though such would lead to the same conclusions faster) that at least one human lifetime begins at conception ... if more than one develops, would that make it right to kill the earliest manifestation? God forbid, but (killing because of ambiguity) such is the nature of liberal thinking!
