Undisputed facts:
1. as soon as the cells start to divide, science classes it: the fertilised egg, as human
2. zygotes don't have a personality, but they do possess all of the information that will eventually lead to the formation of a person
3. zygotes don't have feelings. They are completely unaware of their death
4. the law on abortion (that applies to me) seems to be based upon sentience.
5. pregnancies naturally abort for many reasons
6. Deciding to terminate a life once you know it has begun developing, is always terminating a life.
