Doing a Better Job than Me

My poor defense of an embryo deserving personhood demonstrates my inability to provide a convincing defense of my pro-life stance. Part of it is due to the emotions contained in the issue. The idea of millions of children being killed every year because they're unwanted is disturbing. If the unborn are people with the same right to life as any other human then legalized abortion on demand is a tragedy of historic proportions. Passion sometimes gets in the way of making a persuasive argument.

I've found an interesting dialogue among a pro-abortion feminist, a pro-abortion Christian, and a pro-life Christian. God is mentioned, but theological reasoning isn't the primary defense of the pro-life position. I don't expect anyone to be swayed. It's simply food-for-thought.
