You're saying human life should come from a loving sexual act, so what does that say about a human life conceived during a violent one?
You can "should" all you want, but the fact of the matter is that some percentage of human life will be conceived through a sex act that is completely devoid of any "sacredness" or notion of "lovemaking" - even when the sex act is taking place between a husband and a wife. Marital rape is a thing.
I know you have tried to disassociate the act of conception from the worth of the person conceived, but you cannot deny that the sentiment that you are expressing here strongly implies that human lives that are conceived though anything other than your definition of "sacred lovemaking" are lesser and that is bullshit.
Quote:We don't think masturbating into a jar and then having a stranger join sperm and egg together on a petri dish in a medical office, is the proper context for such a sacred thing as the beginning of new human life to take place.
What does the manner of ones' conception have to do with anything? Do you think that being an IVF baby will have some lasting physical, emotional or social consequences on that person? If so, why? And what's the data you are using the support this notion? If not, then what the hell does the "sacredness" of the conception method matter to anything?
