"human life begins at implantation rather than conception, which science has established as the starting point for human life."

Science has established no such thing. And while I don't necessarily disagree with conception as being the beginning of life the question is metaphysical not empirical.

I’m not all that religious but am quite interested in science. The moment of creation of unique DNA is clearly the beginning of an individual human life. If human life is to be valued, as I believe it must be, that is the beginning point.

People spend much of their lives presenting absurd arguments in support of what they consider their self interest.

I couldn’t disagree more; the issue is a matter of empirical knowledge, with metaphysical implications. It is an undisputable fact of biology that a new human being, with unique genetic endowment, is created at the moment of conception.

Life begins at conception, pregnancy begins at implantation.

So .......... Mr. Newt agrees with Planned Parenthood and stiffs a scientific fact and the Catholic Church’s foundational dogma: HUMAN LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION.

I guess he isn’t that smart nor such a devout Catholic.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
