Yeah. They might grow up to be pro-choice. Depends on how well you teach about the sanctity of life.

and whether it is the responsibility of a man to use a condom every. f**king. time. whether she "makes" him use it or not. it is the sperm that causes conception. the controls need to be on the swinging d**ks that give off the sperm not the womb that carries a baby.

So is it murder to wipe things down with antiseptic?

Not the point I was making. Point is, that scientists will accept any living organism as life no matter how small or insignificant, while many people now believe it is ok to kill (murder if you will) an innocent child. And now they can do it up until the baby is born. If that isn't murder, I don't know what is.

You do really; we're all in agreement that after birth, murder happens.

But back to your original point: you're trying to conflate the scientific definition of life as a series of biochemical reactions with personhood for ethical purposes. So one more time: why, when we wipe something down with antiseptic, does your perception of what scientists regard as life not take hold for your crusade against all forms of murder no matter how distant from an independent human being in good health?

Murder is the taking of HUMAN life.

Yeah. I am ok with killing germs and bacteria, but not babies. Sounds like you're ok with killing babies and not germs and bacteria. That's kind of the point of the meme.

Pfff, f**k bacteria, they literally make me puke.

Now, I'm not going to change your mind about calling a prenatal fetus a baby in the comments section of imgflip - but do you see now that just because the chemical reactions that biologists call "life" for lack of anything better to call it might be present, doesn't mean it qualifies as a metric for personhood? That causes all kinds of nonsense. And that's why your meme falls apart even by pro-life reasoning.

The point of the meme is that babies are more than just a random collection of cells. See my last comment below...

Sorry, but your meme says no such thing in and of itself. The title of your meme is very clear about the idea it is trying to express.

Point is a single cell organism on Mars will never be anything but a single cell organism.

The whole argument of when life begins (exists if you will) is at the core of the abortion debate.

At conception, the zygote or clump of cells or whatever you want to call it, has all of the DNA that will define it physically; the unique genetic code that will define it's eye color, hair color, how tall it would be, etc, etc...
