  1. I'm going to take a nuanced position here. Life, as the conservatives say, begins at conception. HOWEVER, it's not a PERSON until it's capable of living outside the womb. They're conflating life and personhood. Bacteria is alive, but it's not a person. <Insert lifeform here> is alive, but not a person. For one thing, not all fertilized eggs make it to personhood. Most of them get rinsed out of the woman's body during menstruation. Some number will implant and begin the process but not make it to the end. Some will make it to the end of the process but not survive outside the womb. Any point along the cycle up to viability, as was the law, is acceptable to interrupt or end that process. If conservatives want abortion to become more rare, they need to embrace contraception, but they don't. They are totally in the wrong here.
