3. Sound, Reasonable Argument
Scientific evidence shows that abortion kills a living human being.
The unborn is alive from the moment of conception and growing biologically.
The unborn is a separate individual being with its own brain and central nervous system, its own unique genetic fingerprint, and possibly different blood type and gender.
The unborn is a human being from human parents at all stages of development.
Philosophical evidence shows there is no meaningful difference between a human being and a human person.
You cannot exclude persons based on size or physical appearance (e.g. ethnic cleansing).
You cannot exclude persons based on ability or level of development (e.g. handicapped or deformed)
You cannot exclude persons based on their location or environment.
You cannot exclude persons based on their level of dependency.
Human beings have intrinsic value. They are valuable because they are human.
Logic:
Moral claim: It is wrong to intentionally kill innocent human beings.
Factual claim: Abortion intentionally kills an innocent human being.
Moral conclusion: Therefore, abortion is wrong.
