The pro life argument is totally contingent on showing that a few brainless cells that carry human DNA have rights which override those of the mother in whose womb they grow. And they have failed to do this in a way that makes consistent sense.

 But before that can be reasonably debated there are huge inconsitencies in the pro life lobby which need to be addressed.

Many pro lifers are pro war and execution which should rob them of the opportunity to comment further.

Then there are those who do not care/ act about famine and disease due to poverty.

Again these avoidably claim lives of actual people.

The there are those who do not wish to see free healthcare for the poor some of who will die prematurely as a result.

Then there are those who prop up businesses that wreck and take actual lives in countries where the horror of what they do is hidden from the apple pie world of America.

I could go on for ages.

You can only have a sensible debate with a pro lifer who is actually pro life and I am yet to meet one.

They are invariably very right wing and very pro death and they use abortion as a vehicle to demonstrate their piety
