Correct, and thanks to advancements in science and biology, it’s nothing short of a biological fact that a new human being comes into existence at fertilization and begins a 25 year period of development. Yet at no point during our development are we not actually a human being.The question is not whether or not human tissue is present --- the question is whether or not a human person is present.
The Jewish perspective also rejects the Divinity of Christ.... so there is that too.From a Jewish perspective :
"Jewish law does not share the belief common among abortion opponents that life begins at conception, nor does it legally consider the fetus to be a full person deserving of protections equal those accorded to human beings. In Jewish law, a fetus attains the status of a full person only at birth. Sources in the Talmud indicate that prior to 40 days of gestation, the fetus has an even more limited legal status, with one Talmudic authority (Yevamot 69b) asserting that prior to 40 days the fetus is “mere water.” Elsewhere, the Talmud indicates that the ancient rabbis regarded a fetus as part of its mother throughout the pregnancy.
the passage in the Talmud that refers to the foetus in the first trimester as ‘water’ almost certainly isn’t only refering to water as material liquid. It is seeing the foetus at this stage as a recapitulation of the chaos waters that the spirit of the Lord broods over at the beginning of Genesis. So it is referring to an act of creation in process, but not yet fully defined and not yet given life through breath."
This would probably have been the early Christian perspective.
The global population has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to 7.616 billion in 2018. Absent a very severe pandemic we aren't going to go extinct anytime soon.
Can you support this claim?
Yea.... humans aren’t cats and dogs, so I wouldn’t recommend making claims that well... you know are false.I have to look up the numbers for humans, but it has been known to be true about cats and dogs for ages. Do the math.
The claim is false but probably not for the reason you think. If abortions were stopped completely then since most are done by the poorest in society then it stands to reason that you'd get more homeless suffering children. However that wouldn't happen because the abortions wouldn't stop, they'd just take place illegally instead which is why criminalising abortion won't have the effect advocates of it say they want.Yea.... humans aren’t cats and dogs, so I wouldn’t recommend making claims that well... you know are false.
As someone who is a foster parent and involved with DFCS, I can let you know that there are more Adults in America that want to and are available to adopt newborns than there are newborns.The claim is false but probably not for the reason you think.

Its true in America.SPF, that may be true where you live, but not in all 50 states. Most likely not even every county in yours. It makes no sense to assume your life experience applies everywhere in America, including the poor ones that can't fund adoption agencies.
It's true in America.
Any woman in America that gets pregnant and wants to put her baby up for adoption can find someone to adopt her child.Even in parts of America where it is literally impossible to have adoption agencies for financial reasons? It is one thing for a lot of couples to want babies. Whether it is possible for them to connect with children's services that adopt out babies is another animal.
If you’re interested in how it works, feel free to do some research, but I would for my part prefer to stay on topic. But every woman in America who gets pregnant and is willing to carry their baby can find an adoptive parent if that’s their wish.My question is how can she put her baby up for adoption if there is nobody to help? It is not like giving up a cat, which can be a friend to friend transaction.
No, it isn’t. There is a demand for healthy white babies. Not so for black babies or disabled babies, nor is there a demand for older children. I was once a domestic hearing officer so I am familiar with the stats.Its true in America.
I was speaking of newborns, and older children are not newborns. And you’re wrong.No, it isn’t. There is a demand for healthy white babies. Not so for black babies or disabled babies, nor is there a demand for older children. I was once a domestic hearing officer so I am familiar with the stats.
