It's the ending of potential life.

Dead wrong. Your statement is not based on science but on a justification. The science of reproduction makes it very clear that it is not "potential life" -- rather it is human life. Thus, abortion is the ending of human life which in terms of the great body of human law means that it is murder.

What you mislabel as "potential life" has from its conception a genetic structure as human as yours. It is human life at its inception. It is human life as it lives, subdividing, multiplying and organizing its cells and tissues. It continues as human life until natural death or until someone murders it.

The notion of potentiality as a category was a late 19th and a 20th century Eugenics category which the Nazis used in the most diabolical ways. The use of "potentiality" in the abortion debate by those who support it continues the same line of reason employed by the Nazis in exterminating the Gypsies, the Jews, and the disabled.

Okay. Now prove that "science... makes it... clear that it is...human life". Remember, we are talking about science.

(By the way, how is the Science of Reproduction called? Do you, by any chance, mean the Science of Life?)

I did not know that the any ending of life is necessarily murder. I guess Apollo still hasn't stopped shooting his arrows at us.

Yeah, right.
