Yes, life begins at Conception. By your two questions in the prior posts, I think you believe the contrary? For me, it's against my religion to think any other way. The Scientific embryonic articles explain why it's a life at Conception.
Are unborn children human beings? Are they persons? No doubt about it. The following essays argue the pro-life case...

When Do Human Beings Begin? -- by Dianne N. Irving, Ph.D. In this essay, former NIH bench research biochemist Dianne Irving demonstrates the scientific fact that the lives of human beings--and human persons--begin at conception.
Personhood Begins At Conception
http://www.vanderbilt.edu/SFL/peter_kreeft_--_personhood_begins_at_conception.htm
-- by Peter Kreeft, Ph.D. Professor Kreeft explains what exactly a "person" is and why the various philosophical positions which deny that the unborn child is a person are themselves inadequate.

Is the Unborn Less Than Human? -- by Francis J. Beckwith, Ph.D. In this essay, Dr. Beckwith lays out the scientific facts surrounding human development and explains why it does not make sense to argue that a human being is created at implantation, quickening, or birth.

When Does a Human Become a Person? -- by Francis J. Beckwith, Ph.D. Continuing the previous essay, Dr. Beckwith demonstrates why other functional criteria given for personhood--such as sentience, brain development, and viability--are inadequate. He then refutes the "gradualist" position, which incorrectly asserts that the unborn becomes more and more human as the pregnancy progresses. Finally, he discusses the positions of various abortion and infanticide advocates like James Rachels, Mary Wollenkott, and Michael Tooley.

Does Life Begin At Implantation? -- by Francis J. Beckwith, Ph.D. In this essay, Dr. Beckwith addresses the phenomena of monozygotic twinning, hydatiform moles, choriocarcinoma, blighted ova, cloning, and fertilization wastage. He then shows how these phenomena fail to disprove the position that human life begins at conception.

Scientific and Philosophical Expertise: An Evaluation of the Arguments on Personhood -- by Dianne N. Irving, Ph.D. In this essay, biochemist Dianne Irving argues that positions which assert that early human embryos are not persons are based on inadequate philosophical principles and faulty scientific data.
http://www.vanderbilt.edu/SFL/ThomistFertilization.htm
The Human Rational Soul in the Early Embryo -- by Stephen Heaney, Ph.D. In this essay, Professor Heaney discusses the various theories of "ensoulment" that permeate philosophical (and theological) discussions on abortion.

The Tiniest Humans -- an interview with the renowned geneticist Jerome Lejeune and the father of modern embryology, Sir Albert William Liley
I will not argue with your right be believe what you want. If your religion dictates that, then that's the way it is for you. I see that from your profile that the only time you post it has to do with abortion. Apparently you feel quite strongly about that.
I will say, however, that if you really think that you and your groups will ever abolish abortion completely in this country and to the extent you want it, you will not.
You do more to hurt your cause than to forward it by bringing your religious views into it. This is not a "religious nation", we are secular.
And before you start accusing me of wanting to murder children, you are wrong. But, I do not believe that any law is going to stop it from happening. Abortion will be reduced when peoples hearts and minds are changed. No law ever prevented "murder".
As I see it, many of the anti abortion groups should join forces, set up homes for unwed mothers, help the women that find homes for their children. Yelling and preaching at people, calling them murderers or sinners and trying to pass laws will, in the end, do nothing. Compassion and help to those who need it will do more good than any protest or law.
