Here we go again, another legal skirmish attempting to outlaw all abortions. In November, Colorado voters will be asked to decide if a females’s egg cell becomes a “person” when it is successfully penetrated by a male’s sperm cell and the DNA of each pair up. The potential legal implications of this decision are enormous. If the fertilized egg is a person, with all the legal rights of any citizen, then the female carrying the “person” would necessarily need to have an attorney present with her 24/7 for her entire pregnancy. If the fertilized egg cell is a person in Colorado, why not in Zimbabwe or Darfur? This thing could get out of hand leading to trials at the Hague for crimes against humanity. If a miscarriage occurs, I’m sure criminal negligence charges would follow or at least civil lawsuits filed against her by the “person’s” relatives.
Many people believe that any fertilized egg cell, whether it originated in the laboratory or in a woman’s body is a “blessing” in the form of a purposeful gift from a Divine all-knowing Creator and, therefore, all of them have to be respected, nurtured, and provided the opportunity to develop into a child. I choose not to believe a loving, all-powerful Creator would deliberately direct or passively allow the fertilization of a human egg knowing it would lead to the birth of a helpless child into an environment that exists in many places around the world today where the horrible suffering taking place from starvation, brutal tortures, Aids epidemics, and senseless murders boggles the mind. In my opinion, if unborn “persons” were given a choice to be born into this environment without any reasonable chance for learning about the Creator’s limited and explicit conditions for earning an eternal afterlife or not, most would choose NOT!
Read Settled Science to learn how scientists think our universe and life began and then decide for yourself if a fertilized egg is really a person.
