1-My belief that life begins at conception comes from the scientific evidence-not religious belief.

I can supply hundreds of links to support the exact same truth. Science has been my life for as long as I can remember. Plants are living things, animals are living things, unborn children are living things.

2-I have never JUDGED anyone for having an abortion. As a Christian, especially as a Christian, I have learned that we all make mistakes, but there is always forgiveness. We ALL have sinned and I for one, continue to sin on a daily basis. Being a Christian doesn't make me perfect! It just makes me a person whose sins (past, present and future) have been washed away FOREVER! It is not a license to sin or act better than others. How could I possibly think that I am better than anyone else? Forgiveness is available to however asks for it. We all sin, and not always intentionally. Jesus said from the cross-"Father forgive them, FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO".
I am very sad to think that others on this forum would consider me arrogant regarding the issue of when life begins. My passion is for the life of the unborn who cannot speak for themselves. Someone needs to do it. Others speak out against using animals in research, because the animals cannot speak for themselves. I don't know what goes on in the minds of these animals, but I don't think that their defenders are arrogant.
