This is not about the old canard of “when does life begin?” It’s about the fact that every human being is unique and the odds of none of us ever having been born are astronomically higher than the odds of us experiencing life. To deny a potential human being the experience of existing is incredibly cruel – and it’s completely irrelevant whether that potential human is an egg, a sperm, a zygote, a fetus, an embryo or a baby.

Religious or political leaders (or any other self-righteous persons) are not to govern woman´s body. It is 100 % relevant if it is an embryo, foetus or a born human baby.
