When I post to him I make the distinction between fertilized and unfertilized eggs. When I speak about aborting the egg or the value of the egg it is understood that it is a fertilized egg. Unfertilized eggs are not aborted. 1. You made no such distinction and you weren't posting to greg. 2. You posted that only the religious could be offended by aborting an egg.
