That takes us back to where we go
for judgment calls, is it just a choice no matter when life starts, then it isn't even
a discussion on life, but instead, does life have value, and who gets to grant it
when.
My judgement call is that life begins at conception.

So what do
we do; if all questions are unanswered because someone doesn't agree, someone
feels they are left out, they have some reason to deny all that is right in front of
them because there may be something we don't know, that is just people voicing
opinions, and it will never be anything other than that.
Well, you and I ARE "just people voicing opinions", like you say.

People debate, they speculate, they ponder, they muse; it isn't until there is some
line drawn that people start getting up in arms because it does not matter where
the line is drawn; some will be on one side and others on the other.
Still even if that is all acknowledged as true, some still feel that a woman's right to choose trumps the life anyway, heard a nurse say that.

Well, you and I ARE on the "same side of the line", KellyJay, when it comes to life starting at conception. That is the point in time that I personally "acknowledge". You too. Just as long as you DO recognise there most certainly is a debate - whether or not you need it, and whether or not you are certain about what your belief is - and as long as you DO recognise that people DO have different judgement calls when it comes to a woman's right to choose.

You were quoted scriptures saying that isn't true, but you ignored them, you choose
death instead of life.
You're a joke. You did not quote any scriptures on the abortion issue liar. Your false twisted version does not count.
You were shown scriptures that clearly show that God does not consider a fetus as a person, child, or life. If God did, it would have been considered as murder and require a death sentence for causing a miscarriage. Eye for and Eye, tooth for a tooth, life for a life.
You ignore God's truth and choose lies instead. All in your attempt to play God. lol...

Why not with the females egg before it is fertilized?

Because it hasn't been fertilized yet.

So each fertilized egg is a live individual person in your opinion?
Why does an egg being fertilized all the sudden make it a person?

No. A fertilized egg becomes a unique human foetus that might be all set to have the looks of its mother or the temperament of its uncle or the talents of its already-born siblings or the eye colour of its father or other things like that.

that might be
Why is it still 'might be'?

Because the exact characteristics it will inherit from its family are not yet known.

Because of its potential. Its life has started. The development of its unique personhood has been initiated.

"It" will not inherit anything at this point because "it" has not yet caused a pregnancy yet. Odds are "it" won't be the one out of a hundred that does create a pregnancy.

If it fails to develop or if there is a miscarriage later, then so be it.

"It"

The gender of the foetus is determined at the moment of conception. The word "it" is the usual way a foetus or baby is referred to when we do not know the gender.
