[I said this in a previous post and it's from a research article so don't assume when you haven't done your research!]
Actually my senior project was on abortion, so im pretty sure i did my research. I don't give a crap what "science" says. Doesn't science also say we evolved from monkeys? You can argue with me all you want because you have a right to, but a baby is a human being from the moment of conception. And thats all im going to say about it.

'so im pretty sure i did my research. I don't give a crap what "science" says.'
I wonder what you consider 'research'.
I feel sorry for you, you seem pretty scared of life under it all..
"Doesn't science also say we evolved from monkeys?"
Not quite. It says we share a common ancestor with primates, specifically apes. If you go back far enough we're related to monkeys also but, then again, if you go back far enough we're related to everything on the planet.
"You can argue with me all you want because you have a right to, but a baby is a human being from the moment of conception."
No, technically at the moment of conception it's nothing more than a fertilized egg. A little while later it's a zygote. A short while after that it's a blastocyst. After it implants into the endometrium it's considered a fetus and then you can call it a baby/human if you'd like. It's still quite a long way off, structurally speaking, but at least pregnancy has actually taken place by that point.
"...a baby is a human being from the moment of conception."
Oh my God, you're right! It looks just like a human!

Wow, a senior project. Well, that refutes all those evilutionist/communist/atheist/FSMist/etcist "scientists" with their fancy book-larnin' and PhLadeedas and "peer-reviewed journal articles" and doodahs and whatsits.

Wow, that didn't just fail - it was incoherent!
This was a senior project? This guy got through 3 YEARS of high school believing in this shite and not actually learning a thing? Great, all that tax money down the drain!
How can one do research on a matter of science without considering, well, science?
And didn't science give us computers and the internet? Or does McWilli think they were conjured from nothing by magic?
"You can argue with me all you want because you have a right to, but a baby is a human being from the moment of conception."
So...an egg is a chicken, too?
@Jon: I find that sort of offensive. But maybe it's because I'm a highschooler. We're not all like mcwilli.
@mcwilli: I'm sure you were quite happy with your F, weren't you?
Nice to know middleschools have senior projects! If you actually know this little about evolution, biology, and grammar as a High School senior, then your seriously need to repeat some grades.
@WM
Nope, fail.
"Common ancestor." Say it with me now. You and I have a common ancestor, no more than about 50 generations ago. This is not the same as saying you are my grandfather. It's saying our genetic similarity is explained by, wait for it... THE WAY GENES ARE TRANSMITTED!!! Eleventy!
A single cell does not a human being make.
Also, you fail at grammar.
"but a baby is a human being from the moment of conception"
....with no cell differentiation, no organs, no nervous system at all, and no capacity for thought or pain....hmmm, does sound a little bit like a fundie, but nothing like a fully-formed human being.
PS If God is so anti-abortion, why is there nothing in the Bible about it? More to the point, why does he abort up to half of all pregnancies through miscarriages?
So you define human being as two incomplete sets of chromosomes which have yet to fuse.
you know, that explains a LOT?
"PS If God is so anti-abortion, why is there nothing in the Bible about it?"
Exodus 21:22
As an aside, there is a quote from the bible, "does a woman forget the child OF her womb" and the Catholic Church changed the scripture rather blatantly in their hymn lyrics so they can sing the child WITHIN her womb, and make it an anti-abortion song. Oh well, at least the Catholic church isn't so fussy about taking scripture literally.
YEs, we are always human beings. But we gradually became humans from monkeys, via divergent evolution.
And so, "All you're going to say about it" is a false statement used to back up a fallacious generalization.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
