When do you think the clump of cells becomes a child and what happens at that point?

I would like to claim that I'm wiser than all the theologians and philosophers that have argued that issue for the last several thousand years, but I can't.

I'd like to say that I'm wiser than the Founding Fathers that gave no rights to the unborn in a time when abortion was allowed under common law, but I can't.

What I do know is that when you make the decision that a clump of cells is a child you've just barely begun the journey of moral consistency.

Since you've made that decision I thought it would be entertaining to see how far along that journey you've traveled.
