A person’s life begins the moment you begin growing in your mother’s womb – at the moment of conception. When those two...

- Why are you Pro-Life?
- I beleive that any line you draw to distinguish life from non-life, person from non-person, is somewhat arbitrary. "Person," "self," can only be defined philosophically (or religiously if that's where you take it), therefore we cannot know for certain if what we are killing is a person if we choose to abort a fetus. Because of this uncertainty, I believe that it would be wrong to even potentially end a person's life, or end a potential human's life. Life is too precious, even if that life is full of depression or disability or reduced circumstances.
