I decline to argue with pro lifers/anti abortionists just as I decline to argue with new earth creationists. There is no common ground that I've been able to discover. Both positions are based on religious doctrines,not science:
Belief in the soul: I reject the existence of the soul due to lack of evidence.
Theists claim a fetus is a human being from conception. They present no evidence to support this claim.
I claim a fetus is human being when and only when it is viable ex utero.
My position is it's up to the theists to prove a fetus is a human being from the point of conception. I will happily change my position immediately such evidence is forthcoming.
Until that day,I have no problem with what any believing female chooses to do about her own pregnancy. I have a big problem when believers of either sex insist on imposing their personal superstitions on society about this or any other issue.
