A Newsweek Poll shows that 46% of Americans believe that life begins at conception, while an additional 12% believes that it begins at implantation. Only 11% believe that life begins at birth, which means that 89% of Americans would acknowledge that the present abortion laws allow for at least some legalization of murder.

I would really like to know how they define 'life'. An amoeba is life. Algae is life. What do you call something that's not life?

This poll is in the context of abortion and therefore the definition is not even remotely cryptic... a unique and valuable human life.

Some use the term fetus which dehumanises the baby and allows them to kill it and not go crazy.
