P1: All human beings are created in the image of God and possess inherent moral worth and value.
P2: A new human being comes into existence at fertilization.
Conclusion: All human beings possess inherent moral worth and value from fertilization.
Therefore, if all human beings possess inherent moral worth and value from fertilization, then all the abortions that are performed for non-medical emergency reasons are immoral.
The above is taken from the OP. This discussion is aimed at addressing the vast majority of abortions that are committed for non-medical reasons. I welcome anyone to start a new topic of abortions for medical reasons if they want to.
Is there anyone that disagrees with the conclusion derived from the two premises that can provide good reason for why either the conclusion or premises should be rejected?
