Pro-life atheists

[Esquilax]

As a Buddhist, (moderately monastic) the view is that life begins at conception and all life is valuable.

Cool, so you've got a view about when life begins that's ideologically driven and doesn't jive with known scientific facts: do you really think that's a good enough basis for public policy? Are we just to use your fantasies, or does everyone else get a go on the "let's turn my non-factual dreams into a reality!" process?
