If Not at Conception, Please Tell Me When Then Does Life Begin?

In response to my article, Planned Parenthood Practices Reproductive Racism, I received this comment on Polzoo.com, where I also posted the article, “. . . your entire argument rests on the premise that abortion equals homicide . . . What evidence do you have that human life starts at conception? . . .”

The following is basically my answer to the person making the comment above.

If life does not begin at conception, please tell me when life does begin. Does it begin at the start of the third trimester? Does it begin at birth? Does it begin 1 week after birth? Does it begin at age 7? Does it begin when some ‘all-knowing’ jurist or physician says it does? Does it begin when an anti-American Civil 'Liberties' Union (ACLU) attorney says it does?

The development of human life begins at conception. Any deliberate extinguishing of life from the point of conception onward is wrong, it is immoral, it is unethical, and it is the taking of a human life.

'SUPREME' COURT

In 1973 the United States Supreme Court overstepped its bounds and unlawfully ‘legalized’ the murder of millions of babies. Supposedly they, like you, apparently could not tell when life began. The technology or scientific advancement was such at the time that they could not tell when life began. Or maybe they just faked stupidity.

SONOGRAMS

Just look at a sonogram today and watch the movement of the baby in the womb. The baby is not a mere appendage of the mother. He or she is a separate, unique person. He or she has a developing brain, he or she has its own hands, feet, he or she has a heartbeat, he or she feels pain. Abortion stops a beating heart.

SLAVERY

Abortion is wrong in the same way that slavery was wrong in America 150 years ago. Abortion is wrong in the same way slavery is wrong in Sudan. It took the Civil War to end slavery. What will it take to end the deprivation of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for the pre-born baby in America? Abortion is not a mere political issue. It is not a Republican issue. It is not only a conservative issue. It is a moral issue. It transcends politics.

I would like somebody, anybody, to answer definitively when life does begin, if not at conception.
