“Why isn’t it murder to destroy a sperm or egg?”
Carl Sagan
Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan, “Is It Possible to Be Pro-Life and Pro-Choice?” Parade, April 22, 1990, 4
Carl Sagan may be a scientist, but he is obviously not a geneticist or embryologist. Science teaches that life begins at conception – when the DNA from the mother and the father combined to form a unique, genetically distinct organism, which is a human being in an early stage of development.

Also, abortion kills an embryo or fetus, not a sperm or egg cell. By just 21 days after conception, the developing baby has a heartbeat. Very few abortions are done before this time.
Hi, I ve been reading your blog for a while and this is my first comment.
I guess you meant 21 days instead of weeks.
Yes! Thanks for catching that for me. 🙂
