It seems I will just have to accept that I will be becoming more fringy over time. I believe that human life begins at conception because that is my ancestral history throughout the ages, without exception. With convenience and income becoming ever-more the goals of our globe's societies, I expect the leftward drift to continue on this issue, as it has with Trump. I feel that at some point most people will have to believe as I do on this issue, but it may be after some very dire consequences that come out of the disregard of human life. But these changes in thinking don't come quickly. Thanks for being a voice for the voiceless!

"I recently came across an article by a pastor, an evangelical apologetics guru no less, who implies he and his wife didn’t even undergo the so-called “ethical IVF” process where couples don’t discard their embryos. He writes with an apparently straight face that “an embryo is not synonymous with a child,” contrary to what a handful of sadly misguided “outliers” think, because embryos can die before implantation. It’s unclear by what magical process implantation is supposed to confer human childhood on the already developing human embryo, with its already unique human DNA."

It's really very simple. If you do it, it's a child. If I do it, it's a clump of cells.
