Educational and useful when arguing with pro-aborts on social media.
“We don’t really know when life begins.” Pro-choice activists use this reasoning to argue for abortion, claiming that the mother is a designated life, but the life of her preborn child is yet to be determined. In this video, Tara Sander Lee, a molecular geneticist and Director of Life Sciences for the Charlotte Lozier Institute, delivers a scientific response to this common argument and dives into the developmental stages of the preborn child.

Very simple, very clear, and undeniable.

Excellent. I sent the vid to my email list. Thanks.
Though I’ve posted this photo previously, she is so adorable and goes perfectly with this video…

I know it is philosophically irrelevant, but everything that relates to babies is alive. Sperm cells are ALIVE. The Egg is ALIVE….WHOA!! WHAT??? Yeah. That’s right.
Maybe the real concern is about when the “soul” begins. Well, any religious adherent will tell you the soul drifts around in outer space, or heaven, till a baby is about to be conceived and then, ZAPPO, it picks a new place to call home for a while. Sure. That makes all the sense in the world.
Or maybe the actual concern is that “Consciousness” or “Self Awareness” do not appear to be functions of the hypothetical “soul”, nor any physical fertilization events. Near as know, brain waves become detectable in about 5 -6 weeks after fertilization. Now there’s a measurable starting point around which intelligent debate could seek to define what “self awareness” means. When do those brain waves actually indicate that the living embryo “knows” it is a living thing with an identity? It would seem reasonable that the ability to know “I AM” is closely tied to the notion of human consciousness and the point at which abortion becomes the murder of a thinking being. But then, I am a scientist, and I know such thinking could get me burned at the stake amid this crowd.
