Very good! I think this is an interesting point of
discussion. By the "life begins at conception" argument, one
would think that IUD's murder human life.
This also brings up another matter which I've thought of
in conjunction with the "life begins at conception" argument.
It seems to me that one doesn't have to go far from this
argument to get to "birth control is wrong." All of our sex
cells are capable of initiating human life (if they meet up
with the right other-sex cell). What does this say to us
about spermacides, condoms, sponges, etc.? What does this say
to us about male masturbation?
I bring these things up only because I believe the
abortion issue is terribly complex--too complex for any human
being to ever resolve. I do not trust people who are content
with their "solution" to the issue, and I always enjoy
pointing out the complications of the issue.
Keep talking!
