- No matter _how_ young? Or just to an arbitrary point YOU pick?
-
- You pick conception, other people pick birth, viability, or some
- point in between. One could, I suppose, pick some point before
- conception, believing it a duty to have as many children as possible,
- to allow as many as possible new people to come into the world.
-
- Merely that you've picked your arbitrary point to be conception
- hardly provides much of a convincing argument for me to blindly
- accept your choice for myself. While I have no objection to you
- living according to what you believe is right for yourself, I have
- not seen compelling reasons to accept your or anyone else's attempt
- to impose those beliefs on me.
