You tell me to educate myself, yet you have no clear understanding what human life is. Surely you can see a difference between a human and a bunch of tissue that has a potential to become one.
Epic fail. I addressed your rebuttal before you even made it, and you still made the rebuttal that I knew you would. I really don't think you even read my posts.

Let's use your cake analogy though. Take some flour (sperm), on its own, as I stated, not going to become a cake. Take some eggs and milk (egg), again, as I said, not going to become a cake. Mix them together and put them in an oven (womb), and the chances of them becoming a cake just shot through the roof.

A cat can have kittens in a oven, but that don't make 'em biscuits.


I think the pertinent question , is if it is not *yet a human - why should the woman be obligated by law to keep the oven on? That oven costs resources to operate, and she might not be ready to eat cake yet. In fact if the flour did become a cake, it might be an almost certainty that the cake would simply spoil and go bad, because the baker wasnt prepared for it to be baked.

But if its not a cake yet, your not wasting cake by turning the oven off. Just the batter. Or, maybe you screwed up the mix and the batter is no good.

Either way, it might be better for the bakers, and the eventual cake to be baked at another time.
