"Life begins at conception, that is the science.
"You do not confuse the issues by asking "when a person begins". Because that is also at conception. A person is defined as a individual, the new child at conception is a individual, so a person."
For the purpose of discussion, if conception 'creates' a new person; and the 'mother' wishes to terminate the pregnancy but can not, but must bear the child to term; when and how does our society assume the responsibility for raising that new person, making that person a useful, productive member of American society?
Obviously you can't leave that person in the care of another who, in desperation or emotional distress was on the verge of 'murder'. You must certainly feel the intensity of that child's need, you must be driven above all things to assure that it is not raised in an institution or a victim of our dysfunctional foster home system.
I expect that you have absolutely no plan or inclination to care for those children.
