For, if the entire country believed in life at conception as part of their spiritual or intellectual beliefs and science had proved beyond any doubt that the components of human life were fully present in the two cells joined at conception, I think every basis for considering abortion acceptable would be wiped away.
The problem that I have with the pro-life movement in its current state is that it has become obsessed with legally compelling women to give birth, when this seems like a poor reduction of what the pro-life movement should be.
This is a point that polarizes both pro-life and pro-choice advocates and keeps them staunchly at odds, incapable of being able to move forward in finding any semblance of common ground to address the true complexities of the issue.
