I agree.
But I would not word it "I believe". I would say "I know". It is a scientific Fact that it is a human life from conception and a human is a person is a human is a baby.

Well .. I don't see the distinction between "believe" and "know" - to me they are the same. I believe the Bible - and that's because I know what it says.

I've discussed this with my teens and they agree that the baby is a human from conception. After all, it has the full compliment of 23 chromosomes. The argument that life begins sometime between conception and birth is bogus. If the cells are multipling and it is growing, it's alive. So is the argument that the pre-born baby could not survive on its own outside the womb because most 2 year olds couldn't survive on their own either. A baby, until it begins to crawl, is totally dependent on another to move from one place to another and if food is not put in its mouth, it would starve. So going back in development, at what point does the "fetus" become a baby? Well, you then have to arbitrarily pick a date, but what if you are off by a couple of days? Just to be safe, you'd have to push it back even more until you finally reach the point of conception. It doesn't matter if the person is three days from conception or 90 years from birth. It's still the same person, just at a different point in develpoment. Age is not the criteria in determining humanness.
