"I disagree with the belief that life begins at conception. Medically, there is no evidence of this. A zygote (fertilized egg) is merely the organic chemicals neccessary to develop into an embryo. "

So if someone would have killed my zygote (fertilized egg), where would I be? Would I still be here? Life begins at conception. "Plan B" or EC is an abortafacient.

Indeed the FDA is there to make medical decisions, but that cant be seperated from medical ethics and respect for life. That is the very purpose of medicine. The president has a 5th Amendment obligation to ensure respect for life from the executive branch of the federal government. He is responsible.

I'll go one step further... what if the sperm on the night you were conceived were killed with spermicide? Would you be here? Nope. But sperm is not life. And neither is a zygote.

In addition, I do not believe life is "created". Homo sapiens "life" has been continuous for over 200,000 years, passed along in a long series of complex chemical interactions.
