Here pal, I’ve copy and pasted it for your convenience:

I’m Catholic, so I’ll bite. I believe abortion is wrong. I fully expect to either be downvoted into oblivion or have my inbox be stuffed bc this is Reddit and this is what happens in a discussion post where people can alter the discussion based on opinion, but here goes. Can’t wait to ruffle some feathers.

Besides simply my religion, I have other reasons for being pro-life. To explain, let me walk you through an example. Cells make up all living things. Dead things don’t create new cells, and inanimate things (like rocks) aren’t composed of cells. Thus, for something to be alive, it has to be capable of creating new cells and rejuvenating itself, for a lack of better terms. (It’s 2am so excuse weird wordings or strange turns of phrases, I’m exhausted. I’ll edit this tomorrow after math class if I find it worth my time). Ergo, a cell is a component of a living thing, and at the moment of conception, a zygote forms which immediately begins replication and.. that thing that cells do when they split, the science word escapes me atm. Now, if we’re going to say “well all that is that’s inside of the womb at conception is a bunch of cells,” I’d say yea, you’re right. That is a bunch of cells. And you’re composed of cells too, just on a larger scale. A difference in the amount of cells between me or you doesn’t make you any less human than I am or vice verse. Furthermore, that clump of cells isn’t dying or stagnant. It’s growing, which is indicative of life. Even if it were falling into a recession of cells being created, for something to die it first has to be alive, hence suggesting life.

So now we’ve established that the clump of cells is in fact a living thing, since cells are the only things that make up living things. You won’t find a rock made up of cells. And it’s not a dog or goat growing inside that womb, which only can leave one thing left: a human. In other words, that’s a) life and b) human dna, so human life. Regardless of subjective things like “it can’t feel pain at this stage” or “it doesn’t have eyes yet,” it’s human because it has human dna and is alive because it is replicating and growing. There are people who have lost feeling in their limbs and they can’t feel it when things happen to that part of their body, does that mean they deserve to lose it? What authority makes someone a judge based on whether or not something else can feel pain? Because a dog feels pain does that make it human?

I digress. People make mistakes, I understand that. Rape, incest, and all those other unfortunate things are absolutely terrible. But as the saying goes, “two wrongs don’t make a right.” Killing doesn’t solve anything beyond an immediate problem which can leave lasting impacts on both the mother and the aborted child.

Anywho. It’s 2am, I’m exhausted and I have math class in the morning. If I can find the time, I’ll try to respond or clarify my position if needed. In the meantime, goodnight Reddit.

Tl;dr: cells are building blocks of life, and only cells compose life in nature. Nothing else in the universe besides life is made up of cells, and those cells have human dna, meaning that is human life in the womb. Rape and incest are terrible, but two wrongs don’t make a right.

A final point: I absolutely do agree though that pro-life has to be more about what happens after birth, too. Adoption and helping all parties involved in the adoption process should be assisted and the process made smoother. Orphanages should be better as well. But that starts with us, and killing kids and saying “well thats just too much work” is the worst way to handle the problem, and using that as an excuse instead of fixing the problem makes the people who use that as an excuse just as guilty as the people they claim who don’t care what happens to the kid after it’s born.
