I still think this whole "pro-life" position is a construct of the evangelicals, rather than a genuine argument. I fail to see how a microscopic blob of cells in a petri dish is as much a human being as you and me, and how killing it is as much of a sin as killing a grown person. It's illogical, and while your rank-and-file fundamentalist will believe it, surely the James Dobsons of the world can't be so stupid as to believe it themselves. They have to sell this message to people. There has to be enough of a level of detachment in them to realize that they have to spin this so that it looks like a legitimate argument and not the bullshit it really is.
