Abortion is Wrong Because Unborn Babies are Human Beings

If the pre-born are not human, pro-life apologist Scott Klusendorf is fond of saying, then no defense of abortion is necessary. But if they are human, no defense of abortion is adequate. The entire abortion debate hinges on whether or not the person being aborted is, in fact, a person. Human beings have human rights. Human rights can only begin when the human being begins. And there is an iron-clad scientific consensus as to when a new, unique, and whole human being begins his or her life: At fertilization.
