What if I told you there\u2019s an easy way to make the pro-life case in the abortion debate? There is. We tend to get emotionally wrapped up in what is a highly controversial topic. And it makes sense; there are many factors and emotions that go into it. But we don\u2019t have to resort to insults and logical fallacies. Here\u2019s how I make the perfectly reasonable pro-life case for why abortion is wrong:<\/p>\n

First, let\u2019s establish the premise that the preborn are people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the preborn has human parents, she has to be human. And from the moment of conception, the being that begins as a single cell is biologically different\u00a0from her\u00a0mother. She is a unique combination of her\u00a0mother and her father who has\u00a0never existed before. She is alive, and birth does not change the essence of what the preborn was before or will be after.<\/p>\n

Because of these self-evident facts, I have to believe that the moment of fertilization is the beginning of the existence of each specific person. Science book after science book<\/a> teaches this. (Here are “40 quotes from medical experts and textbooks that prove human life begins at conception<\/a>.”)<\/p>\n
