When Does Life Begin?

[LindaC]

Amen. The baby is a human and a person, therefore should have human rights, not a death sentence from other humans for convenience.

God bless Ruben Gallego. All of Father God's blessings on Ruben Gallego. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. 🙏❤

I repent, I'm so sorry Lord for not living my life for you sooner, and being afraid of speaking up when I was younger for you Lord.

If it wasn’t living, it wouldn’t grow!

The Lord God makes it clear it Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.139:15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 139:16 *your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be...✝️🛡⚔🙏

The woman is the portal for life to come through

A fertilized egg deserves the same protection as a 30 year old person?

[Feirefiz]

Simply having unique DNA and growing is not "being alive." Many types of tumors have unique DNA through the process of mutation. Additionally, fertilized eggs fail to implant or survive all the time. That's part of what makes your existence such a miracle. It's the million to one odds of your survival. So, is a woman who's on birth control to keep an egg from implanting "a murderer"? Is she a murderer if she doesn't know she's pregnant and rides a rollercoaster resulting in a miscarriage? How about if she's on medications or experiencing hormonal changes that start a menstrual cycle which then causes the miscarriage? What do we do about an ectopic pregnancy or a pregnancy that risks the life of the mother in general? Furthermore, you're still an organism with unique DNA even after brain death or heart failure, but if we don't step in to revive you you'll stay very dead and you can make thee choice based on faith or even just personal choice not to be revived. Before you say that's your choice for your body, just remember that someone else can make that decision for you when you're unable. It might be your spouse, your brother, or maybe even your mother, so how exactly is this any different? You don't have brain waves or a heartbeat at conception, so medically you're dead. Why can't someone make the decision to stop life saving measures at that point? And if they shouldn't be allowed to make that decision, then shouldn't we also be allowed to compel citizens to save each other by donating our own organs? After all, in several cases it wouldn't risk our lives much if at all, it would just permanently alter our bodies, and we of course have the moral and you're arguing for LEGAL responsibility to save our fellow man, so why can't I imprison you or forcibly remove your kidney if my kid needs it to survive? Well, that's probably because you only want to talk about an issue that will never affect you based on rhetoric you've heard your friends and family spout off while hiding behind your unprovable book as the perfect shield. Mark my words, if you push for an oligarchy where rules can be made on the spot based on the voices in someone's head or the stories someone can write about a fairy creature without any need for proof, you'll wake up one day to find yourself being forced to follow a religious belief that you yourself do not hold regardless of how negatively it affects your mental, sexual, physical, and emotional health. Doctors know what they're talking about. You don't. This gets to be the choice of the woman who's first hand experience with her body gives her a vital vantage point into its needs and her doctor who's years of practice and study give them a wealth of knowledge to make the safest and best decisions. NOT what YOU *THINK* your God wants.

Why isn’t the bible more clear about this?
Why is it up to a salesman to tell us?

[kennethswenson]

Life begins at fertilization. Something is considered "living" when it can survive on its own or by intervieng medical care, in a human that's 22 weeks. A legally defined "person" when it has a unique identity, which is at birth, when the baby has a birth certificate and / or SS number.

[markusklyver]

Life doesn't begin at fertilization – life began billions of years and has been going on ever since. This is one of the weakest arguments against abortion I have ever heard, especially when there are much better ones at disposal.

[theresaskala]

And forced pregnancy is slavery. God of the bible is just fine with that too. Maybe we need a new Bible or a new God. The one we have now is far too flawed for today.
