Amen to that, and when you stop and think about their idea that life begins at conception then the have a strange idea of what constitutes life. At conception sure things have been started but nature can end it any time it chooses only for semantics they call it a miscarriage.
Life is much much more than a zygote, a clump of cells with no mind, no thoughts,, no imagination. I have from time to time had recollections of events that I found later to have occurred during the 8th or 9th month but they are understandably vague. Yet some religions value the life of the foetus above that of the mother. The next thing they will be claiming is that life begins with erection and ends at resurrection.
We will never know because mo one is keeping such statistics but I wonder how many women will die because of this selfish decision.
If what I have written above has not made it clear it has been my experience in my few years on this earth that many (if not most) religions value their shibboleth above human life.
