When did you begin?

Yes, how is the killing (abortion) of live people - OK, - with some people being more upset about children who are already living here more??

It appears to be a Dilemma...  Rather both maybe true but not mutually conclusive!

** As an engineer and positive thinking moral person here is how I read science and human (animal) biological develop.

Exactly when can you truthfully say you ( or any animal) began?
 
For you the question is when did you start or begin as a Human?

We are talking about your start {Every living thing has a starting place}; yet some people want to ignore this obvious truth!
Progression is imperative and necessary to bring the started process of fertilization to completion and birth of a new being!

This is true with animals, and plants; because there is a point in time when under the right circumstances either germination (mainly for plants) or some form of sexual egg fertilization (Pregnancy) in animals occurs so that the new life form begins to develop.  The length of time varies, but the growth is constant until the final animal or plant emerges from the creation process to the actual complete plant or animal. If the right conditions continue, the egg starts developing which is the beginning of whatever being it will or could become!

** (just looking at animals) Going back to presenting a starting place - lets make a hypercritical point on a large display board;  with a dot or point representing the start or conception of a human or any other animal. This could only be at the point of actual male sperm joined female egg to start the growth process. From that point on the process would become a continual growth and development process. You can not logically or truthfully say or find any point on this line from point of Conception to Birth, to where this was not the very same human person or animal. This the path of the growth process (assuming that it is not interrupted)which leads to or results in the birth or hatching of a new off spring!

We are using - you as an example - so you can not truthfully deny that you did not exist somewhere else out side of your progression and growth from conception til; birth!  This is an example of your state of progression to the point where you are today!

The use of "fetus" is just another term or name for an unborn developing human! It is the start of a human - not "a nothing" as some attempt to explain or use to ease their conscience. Accept the truth!
Stop the double talk - you sound like a fast talking Lawyer or  Sales person!
Stick with the whole truth! You have always been whomever you are from conception to birth uninterrupted until birth! Lies and changing the names do not change the facts!

Any lies will only make your abortion argument invalid and false
