A very interesting essay. He also produced the film "Silent Scream."

Of COURSE life begins at conception - how anyone could possibly convince themselves otherwise is beyond me.

It does not matter when it begins....if you DON'T KNOW you CANNOT arbitrarily take an action that YOU DON'T KNOW whether is murder or not.
If there is a door...and you do not know what is behind it....you cannot arbitrarily fire a machine gun through it and then claim that whether someone was in there was unknown, and therefore "just a philosophical question".

Dr. Nathanson deserves our respect. For someone to admit that he was personally responsible for the end of 75,000 human lives is no easy task. God bless him for his conversion and for working so hard for the pro-life cause.

I have found that example gets through to quite a few people and makes people think. Not knowing when life begins makes zero difference morally.

Step on a Turtle Egg, go to federal prison. Crush a living human being’s skull in utero and be celebrated as “courageous”.
Does any doubt remain in your mind that in fact Obama is right, America is no longer a Christian nation? It is impossible to be Christian and pro-abortion.
We are headed into a new dark age. Pray for revival.

Bump for the beginning of life... such as that which gave me my grandkids!

If I were to say that life begins when the fertilized egg actually implants inside the mother, would that be different from your statement? I’ve heard that there are polenty of times when an egg is fertilized but fails to implant and is then discarded naturally by the woman’s bodily functions.
Or is that a distinction without a difference?
To: Aria
They convince themselves very easily. Just as they convinced themselves to believe in obambi, because it is convenient.

Nathanson, among many other ex-abortionists, serves to exemplify as to why even the lives of abortionists are of great value to God — and that conversion awaits a small number of them...thanks to God’s tremendous grace & mercy. (The sanctity of life doesn’t stop @ the abortionist’s doorstep)

Or is that a distinction without a difference? No. That is a death. A natural death, but it is a death nonetheless. There is a separate DNA for the baby as soon as the miosis and mitosis occur.

There is a distinct DNA for the new life as soon as fertilization occurs.

You asked: “Ive heard that there are plenty of times when an egg is fertilized but fails to implant and is then discarded naturally by the womans bodily functions.”
Once fertilization takes place there is new life. When it doesn’t implant naturally, i.e. not caused by chemical or surgical methods, it is considered a miscarriage.
To: aruanan
Isn’t that what I said? When the sperm enters the egg, the cells start dividing and multiplying. Isn’t that miosis and mitosis?

No. The distinct genetic complement of the new individual is prior to the first mitosis (meiosis comes later during the formation of germ cells).

When you talk to pro death supporters, almost without question you hear them say while I am personally opposed to abortion, it is not my place to tell a woman what choice she should make (or somewhere along that line). I think that is the most gutless decision a person can make. Make a stand!!! You are either for killing babies or against it.
