[More Cowbell]

If that baby is horribly encephalitic? Has only the bare rudiments of a brain? If you are suggesting that the presence of a fertilized egg directly equates to the presence of an adult human being, I can't see that that makes logical sense.

Did you even read my post? I was arguing against the use of the "It's her baby" defense, as was used earlier. I wasn't arguing about when life begins.

Since you bring it up, though, I think the argument that life begins at conception makes perfectly logical sense. A fertilized egg is not an infant, but will develop into one. A newborn infant is also not an adult, but likewise will develop into one.

Why should the health condition of the unborn even be a factor? No matter if the baby has a fully functioning brain or not, it is still a human life. It's not our place to try and play God.

Again, if you want to argue that a baby doesn't have rights until it is born, at least that has a logical basis. If you say that only completely healthy unborn children have any rights, then that doesn't hold water.
