- My point is that calling the killing of a fertilized egg a second after
- conception "murder" while *not* calling the killing of the egg & sperm
- a second before conception "murder" is just as arbitrary as calling the
- killing of a baby a second after birth "murder" while *not* calling the
- killing of the baby a second before birth "murder". IMHO, both are
- arbitrary (at least based on biology) and wrong.
