Very sad story. But it has NOTHING to do with my posts. Undoubtedly this young woman waited until there was a detectable heartbeat before she decided to abort her pregnancy. So it is totally irrelevant to the points I have been making about the question of whether there is life before there is blood.
So considering that my points on this thread have been limited to the question of whether life begins at conception or at the first heartbeat, what does this story have to do with anything I have said so far?
I posted it because it had to do with the original thread topic - should abortion be allowed in cases of rape or incest. I haven’t read every comment on the thread (not enough time right now), so I apologize for it not being germane to the topic of when does life begin.
I still hold that “life” begins when growth starts, both in humans, animals and plants. There can be no growth without life. What else makes things grow, if not life?
