That there are instances where fertilization goes astray, does not change the fact that new organisms begin at conception. Hamburgers don't stop being made at McDonald's the moment McDonald's accidently puts out a soft taco.

In this case it is not a new organism. I can't believe you even made this comment when I specifically state mole embryo. Does talking about abortion always make you blather?

brewer will never, as long as he lives, understand why molar pregnancy, or any other failed or abnormal pregnancy, fails to harm your argument in any way. It's just not in him to do.

John, you're a coward and a liar, lol. Skip straight to telling us what you think the law should do to whores, and stop with all this garbage.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

That's nice, and we do all sorts of shit to humans. What do you want to do to humans, specifically humans that pursue or assist abortive procedures?

Interview them; although I'm sure many psychologists already have.
