problem with this, aside from the fact the he didnt say they were children, is we need women after conception, too. the fetus cant survive, even with medical assistance, outside of the uterus in the early stages of development, which is when most abortions take place.

genocide and abortion are worlds apart. one involves actual living persons who are conscious and responsive, the other involves (for the most part) the opposite, and they dont live as your average human being does.
neither science nor the christian bible justify the prolife arguments. if you want to limit it to only the first 2 trimesters or something like that, compromise is a possibility. but to use this argument that any abortion is like murder is completely absurd.
