So I decided to have a little read into the source, and I also did digging behind the institute, since in the article it did indeed claim that a fertilized egg was a human being. What did I find? Well to start, the institution is religiously based, it's executive director is Rev Thomas V. Berg who is religiously vocal, and a well known opponent of evolution, stem cell research.

Life truly begins at conception, and as human lives, we humans do have a responsiblity as we had been given free will and grow into sentient beings.
The physical host body (in our case human) begins at first breath.
Soul consciousness enters the physical host body - - at its time of choosing.
Soul consciousness is eternal - - - it does not cease to exist when physical does.
The physical host body is not sentient without the soul consciousness

While Maureen is clearly an educated woman, her word isn't the all abiding authority on the consensus from the scientific community. She wrote an argument on the side of the pro-life debate, her position is among the minority. You seem to think Quad that because there are articles out there supporting your position, this is automatically a fact, but it doesn't make it so.

If a child is aborted then a human life is taken away.
When semen die, human life is taken away as well. When you cut your hair, you're killing human life. Human life does not automatically mean human being.
If people like you really valued the lives of children, you'd be spending more of your time supporting social programmes that single mothers (those who chose the path away from abortion) rely so heavily on, you'd be spending more of your time giving back to adoption services, you'd be focusing on those poor children in places like Ghana or India. Instead all of you tend to spend 99% of your time arguing why women (including those who have been raped) should be forced and shamed into pregnancy again their will. You hide behind your behind "morals" as an excuse, when really you couldn't give a damn about human life outside the body.
Once that child is outof the womb, you couldn't give a damn, because then this ends an opportunity for you to dictate what somebody else must do.

The soul isn't an add-on-part IMHO.
I have no idea where you get these opinions, but they are opinions and nothing more.

Tell me, when was the last time you ever posted a thread about the troubles single mothers face caring for their children in this economy?
When was the last time you actually created a thread about the need to help those poor families, those unfed babies, children, in africa, huh?
Take the time to ask yourself this, because I think people like you need to reassess just how pro-life you really are.
You know I've spent years helping and supporting realitives, friends, who have chosen the path of pregnancy, I believe it is the better path. I support programmes that help single mothers, that help the poor. I'm a true pro-lifer because I believe there's more to human life than just what women I don't know decide to do with their lives. I actually practice what I preach.

LIFE BEGINS WHEN IT IS CREATED - HENCE THE TERM: "LIFE". THIS IS A SCIENTIFIC FACT.
Life is created in the lab. Life is created in the womb. It sure as shooting isn't created with a first breath.

The government has several programs available to single parents. Single parents have more rights today, help with childcare, welfare, food stamps, housing plans, etc.
As for the children in Africa, nothing bad towards them, but we have too many problems in America to step outside our borders.

What a joke. I'd love to see you try to get any of that help.

That's pretty pathetic.

It's real simple, here goes. Well one night my daddy and mama decided to become intimate. During this process, I was created. Where the sperm meets the egg and cells start to divide, yep, that was me! I thank them everyday for giving me life.

First of all, I'm not single. Jokes on you!! Second, that is the problem with America now, we worry too much about everyone else and not our own. There are children wasting away here and you seem to think Africa or any other country should come before your own? That's past pathetic, that is what I call a traitor!

Cancer and bed bugs too.
Are they sentient beings? Do they have a soul consciousness?
Is the consciousness built into the cells of the physical? Or - - maybe its the chemicals in our brains.
NO - - it is not that simple.

A mother's cry for her child is not less because of where her feet touches soil.
