    Science.

    A human being is created at conception by a sperm and egg.
    It's human and alive and therefore it is a person.
    If you deny that basic fact you are denying science the only basis on which we should make our decisions.

    If you kill it you are killing a human being and committing murder.
    If at any point from conception to birth you kill the zygote, embryo or fetus you are killing a human being.
    There are often failed abortions where the fetus has lived and is now a grown adult often with disabilities as a direct result of the attempt to murder it.
    So I do not agree with the right to choose.
    When a woman is pregnant she is carrying a human being in her womb.
    Whether she wants to or not she must carry the baby until full term.

    If she is in danger of death I'm sorry but that is too bad. Killing the child is murder.

    If a woman or girl conceives through rape or incest it is morally indefensible to kill her baby.

    No ifs buts or maybes.

    No amount of misplaced compassion justifies abortion. Abortion is barbaric evil and unjustifiable in all cases.

    The fact that society does not step up and care for unwanted babies does not justify killing them

    I stopped reading when you described a foetus as person because it's alive. I've bags of living human cells growing at work. They're not a person either.

    So you contend that a human is merely DNA, that no brain, circulatory or nervous system is required to be viewed as a human being/person?

    Except medical science says conception only occurs when the the fertilised egg attaches to the uterine wall

    Yep. The process for what eventually can become a human is started by that event. Doesn't mean it is a human being right from the off. The end result isn't the same as the start of a process

    It doesn't matter if the fetus is a fully-fledged miniature adult with full consciousness when conception occurs. Nothing about it erases the fact that it's inside a human's body. But of course pregnant people are just sinful, worldly beings not fit to be spoken of in the same breath as the innocent half-gestated angel of purity that you infant fetishists imagine.

    When the egg is fertilized and cells begin to multiply life begins. That's the starting point. To intervene and kill it after that point is killing a human being and committing murder.

    No it's not. Murder is specific legal conviction, a person can also be charged with manslaughter.

    If a woman takes the abortion pill here in Ireland, he won't be charged with murder she will be charged with having an illegal termination (not sure of the exact term).

    This is not about belief this is about fact.
    The fact is a fertilized egg is human and that fact is that killing it is murder.
    Killing the unborn human at any point between fertilization of the egg and birth is therefore murder.
    That is a fact that is not open to any dispute whatsoever.
    The facts are undeniable.

    They should be imprisoned for murder

    Well at least the prison building programme will keep the construction industry busy for a few years, which has to be good for the economy.

    The fact is that the OP has stated a position, one that they're not prepared to debate or defend with anything other than "it's science therefore I'm right", so I'm not really sure why anybody would waste their time trying to engage them.

    So you would imprison women who had a legal abortion in another country? Not matter the reason for the abortion?
