Is the unborn baby human or not, and if not human, at what point does she become human?<\/em><\/p>\n

Because after all, if the baby\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0human, it\u2019s irrelevant if women want to have abortions, just as it\u2019s irrelevant if they want to remove tumors or a few cells or have any other number of medical procedures.<\/em><\/p>\n

But if the baby is human \u2026 it\u2019s horrifying that our society wouldn\u2019t protect her life, just because she\u2019s in a vulnerable, dependent position.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yet this is the question over and over again that the left won\u2019t deal with.<\/em><\/p>\n

Maybe they won\u2019t deal with it because it threatens their current abortion policies. After all, it\u2019s risible to argue that a full-term baby isn\u2019t human in the womb, and yet acquires humanity passing through the birth canal….<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s irrelevant what the courts think about when life becomes human. It\u2019s irrelevant what abortion activists think about when life becomes human.<\/em><\/p>\n

What is relevant is science\u2014which tells us that an unborn child has her own unique DNA at the moment of conception….<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going to make public policy about who lives and dies, it\u2019s relevant who is human and who\u2019s not. Sadly, that doesn\u2019t seem to be something many on the left agree with.<\/em><\/p>\n
