Reply #42: It's life, but it's not "a life," or "a human life" as the judge says. [View All]

You read the wrong definition of life. Read the definition that takes a definite or indefinite article. The distinction there is everything. The meaning of which is "an individual life" "a living being" or "a human being."

The judge's ruling puts a serious scientific inaccuracy into law. A fetus has live, human cells, but calling it "a life" is declaring, against all evidence, that it is a person, or an individual with who has gained consciousness.

Obviously, a fetus can become a human being later, but there is no way an early-term fetus is person or a human being. In fact with just a little intervention shortly after its implanted, you twin it and turn it into two human beings. So, did two lives begin at conception?
