There's a few hundred active members in DP who would quickly disagree with what you've just said.
Umm...No.
However, you are already aware of this from all the prior arguments in all the other threads on this topic in this forum.
The fact that you choose to believe otherwise? Not proof a human being exists at the moment of fertilization. :shrug:
Henrin is one of several members who loves to play the denial game. Biological and legal facts aren't their friends.
Know how many times I've posted the following for all of these folks who claim a zygote is automatically a human being, including Henrin?:
U.S. Code § 8 - “Person”, “human being”, “child”, and “individual” as including born-alive infant
Current through Pub. L. 114-38. (See Public Laws for the current Congress.)
(a)
In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the words “person”, “human being”, “child”, and “individual”, shall include every infant member of the species homo sapiens who is born alive at any stage of development.
(b)
As used in this section, the term “born alive”, with respect to a member of the species homo sapiens, means the complete expulsion or extraction from his or her mother of that member, at any stage of development, who after such expulsion or extraction breathes or has a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, regardless of whether the umbilical cord has been cut, and regardless of whether the expulsion or extraction occurs as a result of natural or induced labor, cesarean section, or induced abortion.
(c)
Nothing in this section shall be construed to affirm, deny, expand, or contract any legal status or legal right applicable to any member of the species homo sapiens at any point prior to being “born alive” as defined in this section.
(Added Pub. L. 107–207, § 2(a), Aug. 5, 2002, 116 Stat. 926.)
Bright flash of light marks incredible moment life begins when sperm meets egg
When life begins...
Fact.
“All of biology starts at the time of fertilization...” -- Professor Teresa Woodruff
To pre-meditatively end that human life after this point? It's murder.
Like in many, too-many cases -- government and the law just need to catch up.
But they will.
I always enjoy a nice dose of pro-choice rationalization.opcorn2:
Just because the biology starts at that point does not mean that a human life, for purposes of legal protection, has begun. And to the extent that rights should be granted, those rights - like all rights - have to be weighed against the rights of other human beings. And specifically, in this case, the rights of the mother trump most governmental interests in protecting the "biology" inside of her.
I believe we were talking about biological reality, not legality.
Actually they do not.They are not living organisms separately, but they become a living organism upon fertilization.
Even then you are still mistaken.I believe we were talking about biological reality, not legality.
Actually they do not.
An egg is alive, so are sperm. Sperm moves on their own to move to the egg. If the sperm was not alive they would not be able to move.
A dead egg would not be possible to fertilize.
No, that is simply not true.Actually they do.
Does it? Why don;t you explain how?A fertilized egg presents all 7 biological characteristics of a living organism.
Really...as opposed to what?Also, its DNA is human.
Still not so.So it is a living human.
This based on your expertise? How about asserting is like declaring the Earth flat?Denying this is no different than denying evolution.
Actually they do. A fertilized egg presents all 7 biological characteristics of a living organism.

So it is a living human.
Denying this is no different than denying evolution.
That is absolutely right. The conflicting rights must be weighed against each other. The innocent young life against the convenience of a girl having fun and with no desire to take responsibility for the consequences.

Human DNA is in fingernail clippings too. Are they also human? It takes more than DNA to make an organism human. More like a proto-human. As many as 3/4's of all fertilized eggs do not develop into babies because they naturally abort, that's a lot of funerals. Or proof that nature does not consider a tiny blob to be human yet either. Without our unique and powerful brain we are nothing but ordinary animals.
Don't like abortion?
Don't have one.
Don't like rape?
Don't rape anyone.
Hey, I think your logic is pretty good. :lol:
So? Who cares when life begins inside of another human being? It's still that other human being's right to abort it if she so desires.
No, that is simply not true.
Does it? Why don;t you explain how?
Really...as opposed to what?
Still not so.

How about asserting is like declaring the Earth flat?
Scenario:
- Pro life individual walks into a room, to find a 20 week fetus in a tube, and a baby. The pro lifer has to choose to save one of them. Of course, they both are babies in the mind of a pro lifer so it should be easy. Just randomly push the button and save either one! Of course, the pro lifer will always save the baby, not the fetus. I guess all life isn't equal.
