(15,158 posts)That particular book says that life begins when a baby takes its first breath.
But I think that's not the part of the bible that this dude would like to quote.

(2,272 posts)Believe a baby is viable when it is eight days old. We don't name our babies or perform circumcision on the boys until they are eight days old.
It all depends on which religion you follow. So how can anyone make decisions for everyone????

(21,615 posts)confirmation of life beginning at conception, or as a prohibition of abortion. The verses express a belief that certain persons were destined to be born and that an all knowing God knew this before conception and before the person was born. The verses indicate that God took part in ensuring the development and birth of certain leaders, like Paul.
But considering all the fertilized eggs that get passed out of a woman's body without even implanting in the uterus, or the fetuses that end in miscarriage, or the doomed embryos in the fallopian tubes or elsewhere in an ectopic pregnancy, it looks like God does not ensure the development and birth of every fertilized egg.

If he asked me that question, I'd say, "Define life." And, "Do you mean 'human' life or just life?"
When I got bored of watching him squirm, I'd see myself out.

(5,769 posts)Right to travel and right to privacy are 9th amendment.
9th amendment pretty much says people have other rights not written in the Bill of Rights.
Why does everyone seem to forget the words "or to the people respectively" in the 10th amendment?
