March for Life / Abortion

Truth Seekers = March for Life video
Topic = abortion

- Principles of our society that affect the issue of abortion
     All people created equal "right to life, liberty..."
     Talking an innocent person's life is wrong
     Everyone should have the freedom to choose

- When is a baby/sperm and egg considered human?
     As soon as cells join (sperm and egg) they change biologically and begin to send messages to the mothers cells saying that she is pregnant
     When the two join there are 46 chromosomes that are unique and there is nothing else in the world like that organism
     Most scientists agree that an embryo is a human, so life begins when the sperm and egg join

- Philosophy and the argument of when life begins

- What about the case of rape?
     Rape is an extremely traumatic event, and abortion is another extremely traumatic and emotional experience. Would it be a good idea to have an abortion after rape?
     Other side of the argument: you have emotional scars after you are raped, and then for nine months you are pregnant and have to go to school and no ones knows why you are pregnant and what you went through.
