Since people speak of the rights of the unborn, why not the rights of the unconceived? They are a vast and voiceless class in our ovaries and testicles. Their numbers are numberless: every possible combination of every egg and sperm in the world. One needs advanced mathematics to tally the lives that could be. We abort these lives every moment of not having sex. When a couple comes home from work too tired for lovemaking, they are choosing television over a child's existence. When teenagers hold in their hormones to please their preacher, they deprive an unborn soul the chance of heaven. In refusing to fuse their gametes on sidewalks and subways, strangers stunt the progress of humanity, out of mere propriety.
The pro-life movement should insist on our moral duty for unprotected sex, adultery, and promiscuity.
Mr. Stanley’s Aphorisms and Paradoxes are outstanding examples of the long-form aphorism...
inevitably studded with discrete individual aphorisms that could easily stand on their own.
The difference between abortion and abstinence is that abortion takes away actual life, not potential life.At the moment of conception, the fetus is separated from both the mother and the father in that it has its own DNA which is a completely unique combination of the parents’ DNA. As far as viability goes, a fetus is no less viable than a tapeworm yet we consider a tapeworm to be a completely unique creature.
