Preventing a ball of about 150 undifferentiated cells from implanting really is not the same as abortion. That tiny ball of cells, or blastocyst, has no organs, no brain tissue that would make it aware or able to feel. Most blastocysts do not implant anyway.
On the other hand, abortion is the deliberate killing of an embryo that is perfectly capable of feeling the pain of being killed. The brain begins to form in week 3 when the neural tube forms; by 5 weeks, it has taken on its role as master controller of the body and processes information about its environment.
The court was actually using science to make its decision.
That’s not scientific. One cannot determine if a human spirit resides in a blastocyst or not by scientific methods, so to assume something based on a set of observations (no circulatory or central nervous systems have formed yet, but will, for example) is also not scientific.
Please see my post#24.
What is it about the right to life that is so hard to understand? Human life begins at the moment of conception.
So, what, besides a human embryo, could that ball of cells possible develop into?
You might be an ex-Dem, but you're still thinking like a DemocRat.
Wrong, very wrong. The only way it is not an abortion is if, instead of being a life, it is a cancer. The reason is because it is growing.
Your description of it is so deceptive, it is as if you are a pro-abortion advocate. Are you?
