To me, the answer to this question is pretty much cut and dried. One merely has to ask this question: If the embryo that developed into the person that I call "myself" had been terminated at conception, would this have had any bearing on my "life"?
IF you come to the conclusion that if the conception that created you would have been aborted, that your life would have also been aborted, then you MUST concede that life begins at conception. If it didn't, then destroying YOUR embryo would have no effect on YOUR life.

It's impossible to FORCE ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING (though torture sometimes works)! Since you can't make gay-bashers not bash gays, since you can't make racists NOT commit hate crimes, since you can't make thieves NOT steal or murders NOT murder, is it your contention that we should abolish ALL laws against ALL crimes because they are ONLY EFFECTED against those who have ALREADY broken them?
You're right...take this board for example. I am sure that one of the intentions of this site is to get people to THINK. But you know what? You can't MAKE people think!
