If you "believe" that life begins at conception, as in beating heart, nerves that transmit pain, and brain waves, you did miss science class. Not an attack, it's a fact. You are not scientifically backing your stance on abortion. I keep seeing pictures of mutilated babies as proof that abortion is murder, but no one ever seems to get that late term abortion isn't what "pro-choice" is about.
I can only assume that you believe that condoms, birth control, masturbation and menstruation are murder based on your hardline unscientific stance.
You shouldn't assume anything. That's not scientific.
I am fully aware of the science as my wife and I have done IVF 4 times, lost a baby at 5 months, and I now have 7 year old twins.
Science cannot determine the exact moment when life begins. Is it brain waves? A heart beat? A nervous system? Actually, I think science has finally determined the moment life begins, and it begins with a flash of light.... at conception.

And yes, pro-death groups want abortion on demand, up until the day of live birth. Hell, some even support post-birth abortion. The abortion rights crowd has gotten so extreme, that you can't even discuss any reasonable laws to protect the child during late pregnancy. So, there goes your weak argument about what pro-choice really is about.
So, late term abortion isn't what it's about? Then what do you consider late term? After 5 weeks the baby has a brain and nervous system. After 6 weeks the baby has a heartbeat.

Don't know what exactly occurs during an abortion? Well watch this to educate yourself on this "innocent" procedure as described by an actual abortion doctor:
1st trimester 2nd trimester 3rd trimester
So I guess with your definition there shouldn't be abortion beyond 5 weeks. That would be a reasonable good start to turning this holocaust around.
