The Truth About When Life Begins

Choose Life - encourage fatherhoodSome Democrats could care less about when an abortion happens. They’re convinced that it is not “alive” nor is it “a life” until it registers and votes Democrat.

Then there are the Americans who avoid the subject, approach it unwillingly, or concede some level of support for the practice (meaningfully or just to avoid conflict) who will tell you that they are not sure about when life begins. It’s at some arbitrary point during the pregnancy, a value subject to change based on the hostility of the company they find themselves in, but they won’t be nailed down on when.

OK. Let’s say, hypothetically, that there is some point during pregnancy at which this thing called life begins. Put down your flash card; it does not matter when. We don’t need any social or political posturing about the week be it 20, 30, 40, or 400 (for you child hating nutty bioethicists). All that matters is that you, whoever you are, answer this question honestly.

Can that point where you’ve decided that “life begins” happen in the absence of conception?

Can it?

Could Sally be stepping off the commuter rail at the intersection of Unity Lane and Utopia Boulevard and BAM!, without conception, she discovers life inside her womb?

Her name’s not Mary, and the baby isn’t Jesus. She’s just your average unemployed victim of the Patriarchy trying to find a way for an expert on the Social Inequality of Transgender Dyslexic Sanxingdui mask makers to pay down her half-billion in college loans.

Out of the Blue. Life! Heck, maybe it just appears in swaddling clothes with the cloying scent of brimstone and a Democrat party voter registration card in hand.

If only. But it doesn’t work that way, not even at the corner of Unity Lane and Utopia Boulevard.

So here’s the rub.

Life, regardless of when your political preference defines it, cannot begin without conception.

They are not separable.

If there can be no life without conception then terminating a pregnancy, with or without an arbitrary political label, ends a life.

And that’s the truth.
