The reason religion is so powerful

[Neo-Scholastic]

Never saw a wart or toe nail grow and go to college. Not to worry. You guys are in good company with those who denied the humanity of the politically inconvenicent.

You want a complicated issue to be black/white, either/or.

Life doesn't work that way.

If life began at conception, death wouldn't occur until a body had totally decomposed.

Actually, I left open the door to the possibilty that the developmental stages can be a consideration in balancing rights, which allows for some nuance around the issue. Otherwise, I remain firm that the unborn are as essentially human as humans of any other age.
