OK Steel... tell me exacly when is it that human life begins? If you can pinpoint it to some time later, I'll agree with you. If not, than I will give the benifit of doubt, since the end result of human conception is an actual human being and not a pig or salamande, to life begining at the afore mentioned conception.
Well it aint' the second you get a nut there Jim.
Prolifer Fritz Baumgartner, MD says:
quote:
There is no more pivotal moment in the subsequent growth and development of a human being than when 23 chromosomes of the father join with 23 chromosomes of the mother to form a unique, 46-chromosomed individual, with a gender, who had previously simply not existed. Period. No debate. Life Begins at the Beginning
So, if we accept this as the strictest definition for the sake of argument, then it begins when a clump of cells starts dividing - the first trimester thing actually has a religious basis, I can't remember the details, but traditionally, even religion didn't consider the fetus human until after that, but we won't quibble at this point - what Dr. Fritz isn't telling you is that this moment can take up to Two days after intercourse to occur:
quote:
In ideal conditions (ovulatory mucus and non-acidic pH), sperm live about 72 hours in the female, but the fertilizable life of the egg is only about 12 hours. Conception is more likely to result if intercourse takes place in the day or two before ovulation so everything is ready when the egg is in the correct place. In one study published recently in the "New England Journal of Medicine," no pregnancies occurred in the days after ovulation; instead, they resulted from live sperm waiting when ovulation occurred. Best Time in Cycle to Conceive?
Thus the debate over emergency contraception is a non issue, even by the strictest standards, conception has not taken place, and that in essence, is what Croakly is referring to.
You have a right to your religious beliefs, but you have no right to force them on others, so if it prevents you from doing your job you signed up and are getting paid to do, then maybe you do need to look for another job more suited to your high standards.
I'm trying to figure out why a person would try to get hired in a abortion clinic, if they don't agree with it, unless it's to interfere with it - and, I don't think you have any "right" to be hired to do something you've already decided you aren't going to do, it's absurd.
It's like me looking for a carpenter job as long as I don't don't do violence to any trees - no sawing, no pounding nails - I'm pretty sure they'd probably tell me to go look for a bricklaying gig after they finished shitting themselves laughing in my face.
It's discrimination I tell ya.
