She said, “Abortion doesn’t kill a baby. It’s just a bunch of cells.”

I'm not surprised that she refused to actually answer your question. I get the same result and always point out their evasion.

“It’s just a bunch of cells”
-———Funny. Long long ago, PRIOR to Roe v. Wade, I attended a lecture on the subject of abortion, while a student at the University of Chicago. The speaker was Dr. Lonnie Myers (female) , who along with Dr. Quentin Young was one of the earliest proponents of this “cause”. I knew NOTHING about the issue, (which was just gaining the kind of political momentum, apparently, that would result in Roe v. Wade, three or four years later. I was about 20 years old. I couldn’t help but raise my hand and stand up and ask HER why she thought the enormous number of cells
(she actually put a ballpark NUMBER on the fetal cells)
had anything to do with anything.Something about her quick and easy rhetoric just rankled me, and I didn’t know why, though, as I say , I was unaware at my age of how and why this area was even an “issue”. I was 20, she was 50, and she couldn’t think of a answer, except to recite her conviction that they were “just cells”.
