    Well, I myself say it begins at conception, but baby killer liberals will say it is just a blob and not human, but I feel they know deep down it is wrong to kill a life growing inside of you but there ideology will not let them admit it.

    Because you must be born to be a person. And I will say a soul, however I am afraid that one can't be proven.

    After taking my first breath.

    When I took my first breath.

    Must've been after I was all the way because that was when I took my first breath.

    My opinion has always been that it is at birth when the conscious life begins and after the taking of the first breath. I believe that life in general, like living and functioning organisms is circular however. A woman is alive, a man is alive, her ovum are alive, his sperm is alive, the zygote is alive, the embryo is alive, the fetus is alive, the neonate is alive, the child is alive, the teenager is alive and then the adult is alive and the circular life of reproduction begins once more.

    And I know that many choicers feel viability is the consensus, but I would very much like to persuade them otherwise merely for the sake of all pregnant women, especially the ones who must make the heart-wrenching choice of aborting their wanted fetus in the third trimester. I just feel there is no reason to torture them more by making them jump through hoops to make an already difficult choice.

    Thats your opinion, but unless you show this "soul" in a test tube, dont expect people to take it seriously. Its based on magical thinking and there is no evidence for any of this.

    My life began at 6th month of pregnancy, thats when my brain cortex lit up for the first time.

    So what happens to all those fertilised eggs that never implant?

    I disagree. I think that when the brain's cortex lights up at that point it's really just the body testing the connections. It does not mean that the fetus is actually thinking or conscious.

    "Testing the connections" happens before this time, there is brain activity even much sooner. I am talking about coherent brain activity, or brainwaves. The best correlate of consciousness.
