We’ve got so lazy about actually thinking that we just want someone to give us a dumbed-down rule to follow. The problem is, the answer is just slightly… not grossly… more complicated. I’ll try to simplify it… We all agree that HUMAN life ENDS… yes, that’s right, ENDS… when brain stem activity stops… that person is then declared dead. Knowing this fact, how can HUMAN life begin BEFORE that same brain activity starts? Sure it’s “life” just as any other growing cellular organism is “life”… but it’s not a HUMAN life until the type of brain activity begins that makes us human. Abortion should be ILLEGAL AFTER such brain activity begins [typically around 10-12 weeks] but it should be legal up until that point. There is no Biblical basis for life beginning at conception… so why the need for a dumbed-down, black & white rule to go by? Why can’t we make a simple observation… AND THEN make an intelligent decision based on that data? This is a medical procedure, not a sacrament.

Was it at the moment of conception or after the heartbeat could be heard? What applies to the unborn applies to you. If you say that the unborn is not a person at conpection, then you were not a person when your parents conceived you. Stop being selfish. You are either on the one side or the other — when you sit on the fence, you will fall off sooner or later.

May God forgive you if you say NO to the unborn!
