2 - To what extent can we extend 'beliefs' into 'legal authority'? This, quite simply, asks if you feel a law against abortion actually makes sense, from a moral and legal standpoint.
Open it up ladies and gentlemen . . .

To be quite honest, i do not know or have an opinion on when life begins. I would like to say that the human life begins when it is conceived, but i don't say that. This topic is a really confusing point because some consider it life at the point of conception, because life has been formed. Others argue that it doesn't begin at conception because the lifeform depends on the mother for survival. As does a newborn baby, or a 9 month old baby and so on.
