"Remember that MAP is not abortion because the woman is not yet pregnant, or it wouldn't work."
Hi YYB. I find this statement to be very curious. First if the woman were not pregnant then there would be no need to take a pill to kill the conceived child. But surely you are talking about implantation. That reminds me of a line from Clapton's, I Shot The Sheriff, "Kill it before it grows". The only problem with that, is something must first be alive before it can be killed. The fact is that, from the moment of conception, a new entity has come into existence. It is not the woman, and it is not the man. Each parent is responsible for contributing only half of the required 46 chromosomes that make this new person, a genetically unique, and distinct, individual person. To say that the killing of this individual by preventing them from implanting in the mothers womb, is not an abortion, because the woman is not pregnant is straining at a gnat, while swallowing a Camel.
"This is why French geneticist Jermoe L. LeJeune, while testifying before a Senate Subcommittee, asserted: "To accept the fact that after fertilization has taken place a new human has come into being is no longer a matter of taste or opinion. The human nature of the human being from conception to old age is not a metaphysical contention, it is plain experimental evidence.""
