Is the pro-choice position an attempt to prove the theory of Abiogenesis?

You are really thinking. I never thought of that, but yes, if you aren't sure of a spiritual element then focusing on when you become human is important. Since the discovery of DNA, it is scientifically known that the fertilized egg is nothing else but human and individual from the mother. Therefore, even if you don't believe in a human soul, you must preserve this individual entirely. Anything else, is inhumane. The pro-life position is confirmed scientifically as both philosophically and morally the only justifiable position.

Nobody has ever claimed that a fetus is not life. It is most certainly alive; the debate lies in whether or not it is deserving of the rights of a full human person.

There is an enormous amount of evidence supporting abiogenesis. Just because it has never been completed in its entirety in a lab does not mean it is impossible. It *has* been shown how all the necessary compounds for life could have been formed naturally.

I'm not aware of any statement that a fetus is non-living. Most will say that it's not fully human, but not non-living.

Several of the attempts have produced the basic building blocks of cells in an astonishingly short time, in small spaces. Imagine what could happen in millions of years in millions of cubic miles of ocean.

Well the only thing I choose is life in Christ my Jesus. He comes after the thousand years? I wonder how long it's going to take old LUCIFER to whup Michael's army and delay it down the Mississippi! On the trainyard. That big hook up there in the sky that ain't never gonna catch up to me cause I'm saved thank you Jesus. I'll just be taking a little time. Adios.

Wow, amazing comparison, but Umm no. This pro-choice persons position isn't an attempt to prove ANYTHING.

I am merely against the notion that I can tell a woman what she can and can't do with her uterus and body.

You seem to be confused. Pro-life - the stance that life begins at conception, Pro-choice - the stance that it's not YOUR body to pass laws on.

orly?

Edit: Ya but the understanding is getting there. I am no biologist personally but I did read someplace that simple proteins were created in a lab environment similar to an environment hypothesized in the early earth formation stages. Oddly enough it was done several years ago and no one knew. I'll try to find the link and post it.

I think the pro-choice position is the ultimate in human selfishness, and any argument that they can use to prop their position up will be used. Of course they have to win on the question of whether the unborn is a human life. If they cannot then they lose. Period, paragraph.

Just what on Earth are you talking about?

postmoderndan: Realize that many anti-abortionists (pro-lifers) also agree that there are some instances where abortion is justified. You'd have to be insulting yourself.

pro-choice people think a fetus is life... so is algae. And by the way scientists actually HAVE gotten abiogenesis to work in a lab

So sperm and ova aren't living cells now? When did this change?
