Anyone who is Jewish or Christian should know that the Bible doesn't consider the unborn to be human until it exits the mother at birth, but until then it is potentially human. This means killing the unborn is not murder and is not immoral in itself. Strangely, Evangelicals think killing the unborn is murder. In my opinion, they like to interpret their scriptures in a way that matches their pre-conceived ideas.

For anyone who is not religious, the entire process of procreation through to birth is life. There is no point at which life begins because every part of the process is life. If any part of the process wasn't life, it wouldn't work. Everything the parent said is correct.
