On the contrary.

"Living organisms

• are composed of a cell, or cells
• have DNA
• reproduce
• sense and respond to change
• use energy to carry out metabolic functions
• grow, whether by getting larger or by producing more cells
• come from other living organisms."

That's from my son's 8th grade Life Science book.

A doctor who cannot tell the difference between a live embryo and a dead one is --- at the very least --- unqualified to be an OB/GYN.

And, if you take the morally squishy route of

“I’m not sure when life begins”

what does it say about your moral character when you err on the side of killing something that you’re not sure is NOT human?

Of course, you can “logic trap” a leftist. They are “comfortable with contradiction”.

Thanks for your 48. I get so furious with that kind of stupidity you took care of that I normally have to ignore it. Thanks!

I'll leave the other stuff off. The nub of my point is that "Life" is a legal term. At what point does a sperm, an egg, a fertilized egg, a zygote, etc. become a "Life" with legal protection?

Repeating the that mantra that Life begins with conception is to confuse the terms and confuse the issue. Adding in the scientific definition of living does us less than no good. Do we have absolute protection for all living things? This goes beyond even PETA territory into Jainism. Jains sweep the road ahead of them to avoid stepping on bugs. They're alive after all.
