Your hedging pale rider. The bible does give proof that man has a soul. Now if you don't believe what the bible says that is another topic all together pale rider. Do you believe the bible or not pale rider? That is a simple enough question and I don't know why it would upset you to answer it.
As far as biology goes. Animals at least mammals and humans reproduce in very similar ways. Biological life is not unique to humans. Animals are biologically alive from the moment of conception just like humans are. It is only the soul, or human intellect thats sets humans apart from animals. Whatever you want to call the soul or human intellect pale rider that sets us apart from animals, its a fact that unborn babies aren't thinking. Not like you and I are thinking.
Brain activity is a measurement of human life. And clearly newly fertilized human eggs don't have a brain to think with for several weeks after fertilization. They don't have a brain to control their own bodies. They live biologically as parasites off the human mothers bodies.
So tell me pale rider are you against birth control pills because they starve newly fertilized eggs to death ?
Are you a vegetarian who believes no life should be taken?
Just when does a human become a human pale rider? Is biological life without a brain human?
Just what are you against pale rider? I am yet to figure it out by your posts.

My religious beliefs are irrelavent to this discussion. My objection to abortion is that human beings are being denied their most basic human right. This nation was founded on the idea that we come into being with certain inalienable rights and the right to live is among them. It is the responsiblity of government to protect those rights. Our inalienable rights are ours because we are human beings, not because we have reached some arbitrary level of maturity.
My position is based in biology, the constitution, case law, and legal precedent. The case will ultimately be decided in a court of law and religious argument not only does not have a place in a court of law, it will not be heard. If you can't argue your case effectively without calling upon religion, then you don't have a real argument.
