This insincere picking at details is getting tiring. The natural process includes the fertilized egg establishing itself in the uterus so that it may draw nutrients and develop. Regardless of how Darwinian the test of which egg it may be that starts that process, it does not change the fact that that process marks the beginning of a human life. Nature - God - Biology - Chance; whatever you want to call it, it is that which determines whether a new human life is started.

Once that is understood, the self-respecting man is compelled to defend the ultimate innocent, the unborn child. The child cannot speak for itself or even know that its existence hangs in the balance. What man could, after all, defend his own life and leave the defenseless to die? We would be properly disgusted at a man who let his children die rather than defend them. And so we should be at a society that does the same. And thus, as a man, I am compelled to do what can be done to persuade this society to see the truth and change its ways.

This can all be supported by religious argument (injunctions against child sacrifice primarily), but no holy book is necessary. We have discovered all of this to be true with science.

You can't have it both ways - either a fertilized egg is a human being, or it will develop into a human being. MEANING IT IS NOT YET A HUMAN BEING/PERSON - IT'S A FLIPPIN EGG.

I am getting tired of all the inconsistent arguments of youall who both defend doing nothing (when it comes to yourselves - not saving your fertilized eggs) and imposing your moral values (FORCING THE bringing unwanted children into the world) on the rest of us.

START SAVING YOUR OWN FERTILIZED EGGS AND BRINGING UP YOUR OWN UNWANTED CHILDREN.
