Value of life

THIS IS IN response to Chris Pierce’s arrogant, vitriolic diatribe on Virginia Pester’s defense of life.
By your convoluted logic you apparently place little if any value on life prior to retained memory. I believe if you are searching for the remedy to this perceived lack of value it is called infanticide.
As for your advice to learn what words such as zygotes, blastocyst or oocyte mean, again your logic or perhaps knowledge have failed you. I believe I have read all of Virginia’s courageous stands for life and she has always referred to the value of the end product, human life. Your cold words refer only to cells and their early division as opposed to the end result of the same.
Perhaps you were confused when you wandered into the apple-orange comparison i.e. people (babies) vs. pets.
As to your lack of concern for destroying embryos (fertilized eggs) to conduct stem cell research for cures of various diseases and injuries, surely you don’t suggest taking on innocent life (assured potential) when adult stem cells are being used. Besides recent research has shown that ambiotic fluid is very promising as well as plentiful.
Regarding the accusation of cruelty (the so-called unwanted children) surely you cannot conceivably compare that contrivance to the ongoing practice of partial birth abortion.
As you say you are proud. Perhaps this is where you should look to find the cause for your lack of value placed on human Life.
