  1. The interviewer asked about draconian "dark ages" anti-abortion laws and Shapiro's response was "because science." Point of fact, science does not proclaim that conception is the beginning of life. Another point of fact, not all conceptions end in pregnancy. Conception, when the sperm enters the egg, is only the beginning of the process. Sometimes the egg is fertilized and doesn't implant for a multitude of reasons. Too late in the cycle, and a fertilized egg is simply rinsed out. Ectopic pregnancies happen and can be fatal to both mother and child. Science doesn't concern itself with when "life begins," a codded term to mean "it now has a soul and must be protected for the sake of God." If your God is genuinely omniscient, wouldn't he know that the fetus was going to be aborted, or that a fertilized egg wasn't going to implant and therefor grow into a human being? If so, why would he give a soul to something that's going to die before it's even born? Then again, logic has never been the strong suit of the religious thinker.
