Please see #104 above ... the trick is to refer to that single fertilized cell as an ORGANISM ... once fertilization occurs there is an ORGANISM.

Ah yes, I see, good point. I'll pick that up. Once it's addressed as an organism its full destiny cannot be denied.

But, just to play devil's advocate, the silly arguments could still be used, "But is it a viable organism?", "But is it really a human organism?".

I was trying to focus on their transparent motives. As a point of behavioral psychology, life forms (human and otherwise) will not engage in pointless activity they see no stimulus in. What's the stimulus of stopping a process? To avoid the conclusion of it. What's the conclusion in this case? A baby, ergo the abortionist is crystal clear on what they want to destroy.
