Why did Jesus suffer for sinners and not victims

[The Architect Of Fate]

Okay. In what way is it a question of more or less development then? Development lasts throughout the lifespan, from the moment you are conceived to the moment you die. There are as many, if not more, developmental stages beyond the womb than prenatally (at least in humans).

Yup, there will be more development stages even after the womb. So what? There is nothing wrong with separating the in the womb from the out womb nor is there any issue pointing out that overall a fetus is less developed than a 12-year-old if we view development as accumulation. Also, your point misses the kind of developments to the number. So this doesn't help your case in the slightest. 

Given that fertilization initiates this entire process of development, that is the most significant and important landmark. Anything after that is just grasping at subjective and arbitrary straws.

And your landmark is totally arbitrary too. Why fertilization? Why not sex? Why not the development of the sperm? Why not progenitors' birth? And Why only the start? Why not at a later stage. The start is not always the significant part or the most important. Your selection is just as subjective and arbitrary as anyone else's and is hardly compelling as a case. 


Please note ultimately I consider the question of development an irrelevant topic when it comes to abortion. I was simply putting forth a possible defense of such a view. There is a far better reason for pro-choice.
