Comment on "True Satanism" Is at Least Agnostic or Might Be Against Abortion

I've been saying this a lot lately, but the really bizarre thing about people claiming that anti-abortion can only come from religion is that their claims are extremely religious.

Just think about it for a second. When is a new organism created. When the egg is fertilized by the sperm, a brand new set of DNA is produced, and the first cell of this new organism is created. That is the science. We know it.

Then very quickly, that cell turns into two, then four, then eight, eventually you have something with a head, and a nervous system, a beating heart, arms and legs. We know this. It's just true, we can see it on the ultrasound.

By just 10 weeks in, you have something that is moving on its own. I find it very uncompelling to just say that that thing isn't alive, it's sitting there doing things without the mother doing it.

So let's contrast that to the other argument. That there is a holy birthing canal, and the child is not imparted with a soul until after being expelled from the holy birthing canal.

If that doesn't sound super religious, I don't know what does. It definitely blows past all of the actual scientific facts that we know about pregnancy.
