We Can Be Reasonably Confident that Abortion Entails the Killing of a Human Being

Her DNA could also be tested in utero, and we would always find that she has human DNA. Most pro-abortion-choice people, however, agree with the above statement. Their issue is usually the question of whether the human entity killed is a "person," or a member of our species that has basic rights. The pro-choice advocate will usually poin...
