This is how you answered me concerning rights being imprtant.
Rights are the social recognition of your identity as a human being.
It is the sanction given as a result of acceptance of your capacity for autonomy and rationality.
Who are you trying to force to recognize others socially by rights?
Where do you get this?
Who is obligated to accept anyone's autonomy and rationality in a world that was formed by random mutations with no intelligence behind the forming of life?
Your foundation for all this is everything created itself. Rational? No. scientifically impossible.
Let this be a primer on biblical ideas regarding abortion:

If your contention is that morality is impossible without the Bible, I give you this as a means of demonstrating that, despite your inane assertions how people (and philosophers) consider evolution's potential impact on ethics, that the conversation is far beyond settled and this is the level of consideration that the topic deserves.

Notice the date on the lecture. You can also consult Richard Joyce's The Evolution of Morality (1996). I am not invoking Joyce as an updated definitive source, but encourage you to follow the trail of the debate. You of course won't do this since your intent is only to shove down our throats the ignorant moralizing of barbarians as a guide for modern ethics.
