Of course, you know full well that the mass of cells is not undifferentiated anyway. But your "argument" fails based on the ontology of the genetic code contained therein.

Abortion is the premeditated unjust act of killing a defenseless human. Start there, and argue for it.


Now we are into definitions.

What does it mean to be human, and who decides?

Is the Sin of Onan, since it contains your genetic code also the same as a 100 million acts of murder?


Being human is easy. DNA answers that question. When the DNA says "human", you have a human.

Next?


And how do you propose to collect said dna from inside another human?

See, someone's rights have to be violated....either the moms right to choose her fate, or your right to run someone else's life.


At what point did I say anything about DNA collection? Oh, that's right, I did not.

The DNA of the child is distinct, and makes it human. There's the point.

It seems that you have no problem with one person terminating the life of another without just cause. I differ on that.
