RE: [>> So... under your scheme... if 'human life begins at conception and should be protected as such', then: 1) Most forms of birth control would be illegal. << how so? an egg and a sperm are not a human life. they are potential human life. only when the sperm fertilizes the egg does life begin.] >>>>>>>>>> Yes, that's what I was relying on. Both IUD and 'morning after pill' of doubled-up birth control hormone prevent implantation. Neither prevent fertilization. Other birth control technologies rely upon similar modes of operation. Of course one could fall back on some of the more 'historical' technologies. The Egyptians used dried balls of crocodile dung and olive oil.... RE: [ >> 2)Cigarette smoking, drinking, medications (legal and illegal), over-indulgence in fatty fast foods by the mother could easily all also be illegal... because of the harm to the unborn. << you cannot control what people choose to put in their body, even if you wanted to.] >>>>>>>>>> Really? :)
