Here it is. Short. Simple. Ironclad.

A human embryo from the moment of conception is exactly the same genetically as the adult human being it will become (barring premature death) except in stage of development. There is no other difference. Period.

This definition has ended many abortion arguments. Nobody has ever been able to dispute or find an exception that invalidates any part of it.
And another thing, there is no such term "pro-abortion". Last time I checked abortion clinics weren't running any two for one specials. The correct term is pro choice, enough already with the crazy christer mentality and their tired manipulations.

Until an organism can survive on its own with no (physical) support, it is a parasite. No, a baby is not the woman who is carrying it, but until it can live without her support, it is technically part of her body.

A 2 day old child is no longer 'leeching' off of it's mother. A 2 day old can live off of the father...the father can feed it formula...and embryo can not survive outside of the womb or without the mother hosting it inside of her body. I think it is pretty cut and dry.

No, it's pro-abortion. You people want abortions to be legal. The choice thing is a smokescreen.

And social conservatives claim to be pro-life, but for the death penalty. Is a criminal (guilty or innocent) not a living thing?

One question: How do you feel about the U.S. military? How do you feel about U.S. soldiers who go to war and kill our enemies to protect YOUR freedom?

Why aren't you pitching a fit for all the BORN human beings who die every single day from starvation, disease, war, murder, etc?

It always blows my mind the way anti-abortion zealots fight like hell to protect blobs of cells and developing humans the size of a walnut, when REAL LIVE HUMAN BEINGS die horrible deaths every day.

As much as you zealots don't want to accept it, killing is part of life. We kill animals for food. We kill humans in self-defense, to punish, and to protect our country, freedom and democracy. And we kill embryos and fetus' for the health, well-being and betterment of women's lives and the world in general.

I agree!! Most pro-lifers are pro death penalty as well...Makes a lot of sense to me?!? It is not OK to abort a blob of cells but it is OK to fry and adult to death. MmmmK.

Well, since pro-lifers are going to argue that all life is sacred, just note that by ejaculating into a woman, you've basically wiped out whole civilizations. A fertile male's semen contains 50 to 500 million sperm. The ones who don't reach the egg (and sometimes, none of them do) die.

If any life is sacred, then all life must be sacred because it's life...weather a 1 month old child or a multi-murderer. If you force a person to keep a child or murderer, you will have to be responsible for what happens by forcing the decision. In every way. You can't force some one to keep a child and not help financially and you will be part of the responsibility if the sociopath murders again. If you refuse then you won't put your money where your mouth is when you come to your beliefs.
