If life begins at conception - and all life is precious and to be saved at all costs - have we thought through the consequences of this?

If someone pushes through a law stating that a fetus has rights - will we also prosecute that fetus if it turns out that it was a surviving twin (just reading about how many babies might actually be a surviving twin who consumed/absorbed the failed twin)?

God's law? Like the law that says it's ok to kill someone of another faith, sell your family into slavery or exterminate a rival tribe - all found in the Bible? Be *very* careful with what you say. Remember - that Bible also said "rend unto Caesar what is Caesar's" - as in PAY YOUR TAXES.. And let's remember Jesus' charity towards the poor and sick - kind of against what a lot of conservatives say these days.

Yes, I've read the Bible - and there are a lot of good stories in there. There's a lot one can learn and many good examples. But let's not forget that the Bible has been used to justify atrocities for a couple of millenia now.
