- Life begins at birth
- No, life begins when a fetus is viable outside the womb
- No, life begins at the detection of a fetal heartbeat
- No, life begins at natural biological conception
- No, life begins with in vitro fertilization
- Since we know (many believe, anyway) that sex is only for reproduction, we must also consider these concepts:
- No, life begins at contact between sperm and ovum (regardless of fertilization)
- No, life begins at coital penetration (regardless of ejaculation)
- No, life begins at genital contact (manual, oral, mechanical, or otherwise)
- No, life begins with heavy petting.
- No, life begins at arousal
- No, life begins at feelings of attraction
- No, life begins at the passing of notes across the aisle in fifth grade
Any argument can be taken to absurd extremes, and it appears that many of our nation’s courts are willing to do just that for political purposes, or perhaps to try to gain favor with their personal concept of a deity.
I’m always so inspired and impressed by your writings. I’d love a copy of “I Took an Oath before God!” I’ve always known I did not believe in God. It has never made sense to me. That belief grows stronger everyday and I become more bitter about being human. For all our evolutionary gains we have not evolved very well at all. What other species on earth goes about destroying it’s existence like ours?
