Oh, and of course atheistic and anti-life propaganda is the epitome of objectivity. Isn't it strange that the IRS has no problem determining that the lives of animals begin at conception and that they are "alive" before they are born or hatched, but with human beings there is suddenly a blind spot.
It is also insufficient to claim "We don't know when life begins." If a civil engineer does not KNOW whether a condemned building has occupants, he would be criminally negligent if he blew it up before finding out. If an undertaker does not KNOW whether a person is alive or dead, he would never bury him. So even if we don't know whether the unborn child is alive, the responsible thing is NOT to kill her.
