"CJ, the subject is about life, not about your attempts to twist the definition of "alive."" You mean skin cells aren't alive? Boy, am I surprised... You probably need to inform biologists. I am pretty sure they commonly believe skin cells to be alive. "Bill clearly said "life begins at conception."" Yes he did, although I maintain the sperm and ovum were alive before fertilization. A minor point, though. I am not arguing with that. But he then lied and made the claim that "libtards" don't believe that. Which isn't true, that sort of being the definition of a lie. Where the disagreement is whether or not a fertilized ovum deserves full human rights. Which is different than his claims. On that, reasonable people can disagree. It is pretty sticky to grant a fertilized ovum full human rights. Because then you open the door to the government taking over a woman's life the moment she conceives. Is it child abuse to not eat properly even if a woman doesn't realize she has conceived? Is an IUD or some forms of birth control pills murder because they disrupt a blastula, blocks it from traversing the fallopian tubes or prevent it from implanting in the uterus? If none of things are a problem, why not? What is different? If it is different, why your particular choice of difference rather than someone elses? Or do you just want to force the views of a particular sect of religion on everyone?
