Unfortunately the "medical field" believes that preganancy is when the fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterine wall. They are WRONG!
The morning after pill makes the uterine wall so hostile to the embryo that it can't attach itself, therefore it starves to death. It would be the same as someone cutting the umbilical cord to the baby growing inside of a woman. The baby would die without the nutrition provided.

Unfortunately the "medical field" believes that preganancy is when the fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterine wall. They are WRONG! Life begins at conception, when the sperm and egg first meet. A new life immediately begins to form. This life must have nutrition
And where does it (the life) get nutrition?
which the mother supplies through her body.
Okay, I think that we are gtting somewhere. But how does the mother deliver the nutrition?

Okay, pregnancy starts at conception, not during the attachment to the uterus. But life needs food, otherwise it starves. You said so yourself.
But the food comes from the wall of the uterus, so before that it can obviously do without food, therefore according to your statement that life needs food, it isn't alive just yet.
And we might even add that, I believe (don't quote me on this), almost 50% of the fertilised eggs fail to get into the uterus because of natural causes. So that's an awful lot of murders.
Right after conception, huh? Does the soul enter at the same time? If so, when the egg splits into two, does that mean the identical twins that are formed only have half a soul each?
You assume that a fertilized egg and a newborn baby are the same thing? Uh, no. IT is NOT the same as cutting an umbilical cord in the womb you dolt. As was pointed out by Notme, many fertilized eggs are flushed from the body and do not attach (i don't know the number either, notme). Do you think that number is the same as nearly full term pregnancies? If so then why stop there? Life begins at orgasm! How 'bout life begins when the male and female get that twinkle in their eye?
No. The morning after pill is a high-dose birth control pill that fools the body into thinking it IS pregnant so that an egg IS NOT RELEASED AT ALL. In the event that an egg was released before taking the pill, it may be fertilized, but this is unlikely. In the event that the egg IS fertilized, it is a zygote, not an embryo, and it is not allowed to implant. If the zygote already implanted before the pill was taken, the pill does not affect the implanted zygote.
That user ID of yours is on par with "Cajun Pride". Not something to be vocally proud of, considering the stereotypes. It'll make it hard to be taken seriously. Hell, any ID with the word "Pride" in it is a bad idea.
Besides the fact, already mentioned, that many fertilized eggs get flushed out anyway...isn't there a bible verse that says that the life of the flesh is in the blood? Well, if so, then those fertilized eggs aren't even "biblically alive" yet, because blood cells don't form for a few weeks.
For all the fury of fundamentalists when it comes to the unborn (their term, not mine), their own Holy Book doesn't recognize the unborn as human. In fact, according to Numbers 3:15-16, infants less than a month old aren't considered persons.
You know, I'd have to rate this maybe a 3. This is actually one of the better formed arguments I've seen for recognizing an embryo as a life.
"Unfortunately the "medical field" believes that preganancy is when the fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterine wall. They are WRONG!"And who are YOU to pontificate about medical matters?
"Life begins at conception, when the sperm and egg first meet. A new life immediately begins to form."
No, most sperm that "meet" the egg can't get through into the cell.
Also, that "life begins at conception" is only your assertion.
"This life must have nutrition, which the mother supplies through her body. Without nutrition, the new life starves to death."
Nutrition it gets when it implants on the uterine wall, you know, when pregnancy begins.
"Just like when a newborn is first born, the life is there, but it will not sustain itself, it must have nutrition."
Duh. Thanks for the nursery school level biology lesson.
"ANY life must have nutrition to live and grow."
Yes, you've made that utterly simple point already.
"If I take away your food, you will cease to grow and live and you will die."
Jeez! Move it along, shitwit. We all understand that point.
"If a baby is born and you neglect to give it food, it will die."
See above.
"If an egg and sperm unite to form a new life and you neglect to feed it, it will die."
Uh huh.
"The morning after pill makes the uterine wall so hostile to the embryo that it can't attach itself, therefore it starves to death."
Most fertilized eggs do not implant. This is a natural process, it happens all the time. The morning after pill helps assure that the egg will not BE fertilized and the egg will be passed out of the body.
"It would be the same as someone cutting the umbilical cord to the baby growing inside of a woman."
No, it wouldn't. A fertilized egg that hasn't even implanted is not a baby, or a fetus, or an embryo.
"The baby would die without the nutrition provided."
No, that baby would die first from lack of oxygen.
"I certainly think that at 8 months, where the baby could live outside the womb, it's a human

No, the sperm and egg cells are alive before they meet.
A new life immediately begins to form.
Well, yes; I agree here. The unfertilized egg and the sperm cell were both alive, but a new life is formed when they join.
This life must have nutrition, which the mother supplies through her body.

Without nutrition, the new life starves to death.
Without nutrition, any life starves to death. This is why egg cells die when they're flushed out of the body.
Just like when a newborn is first born, the life is there, but it will not sustain itself, it must have nutrition. ANY life must have nutrition to live and grow. If I take away your food, you will cease to grow and live and you will die. If a baby is born and you neglect to give it food, it will die.
Wow! You went on with that for quite awhile! You're not Captain Obvious, you must be Admiral Obvious or something.
If an egg and sperm unite to form a new life and you neglect to feed it, it will die.
If you ejaculate, many sperm will die. In fact, the death of those poor innocent gametes will far outweigh the fact that the egg will be fertilized, and thus might not be destroyed. Forget worrying about abortion! Ban reproduction!
Incidentally, if the embryo implants, it will feed off of the mother whether she wants it to or not. An embryo is a parasite; it doesn't ask for permission.
The morning after pill makes the uterine wall so hostile to the embryo that it can't attach itself, therefore it starves to death.
Actually, it prevents fertilization in the first place. Of course, you declared that the entire medical field is wrong, so this level of ignorance is not surprising.
It would be the same as someone cutting the umbilical cord to the baby growing inside of a woman. The baby would die without the nutrition provided.
No it wouldn't.
Confused?
