Two cells, or two thousand cells are not a human life. My dog has WAY more to live for than two cells.
A dog has 530 million brain cells. A fetus doesn't have a brain until ~week 7, and it doesn't function in any meaningful way until the last month. The brain IS consciousness. Life is meaningless without a brain. Any other argument is just religious nonsense, specifically excluded from Government power over people.
Pity me if you chose. It means about as much as a Muslim pitying me for eating pork, or a pacifist, gun control advocate pitying me for having and enjoying firearms. It certainly doesn't validate or support any of the related arguments.
If others want to die on this hill, they just ran away from any real fight to freedom.
Now comes the question, are we civilized? If we are, what makes us civilized? IMHO, a very large component of what makes us civilized is respect and value each of us give to our fellow human beings, regardless of what phase of the life cycle your fellow human is in. When we lose that respect and value we become less civilized or not civilized at all.
Edit add: Those who share my opinion may have cost the more conservative senate, but we are now edging closer to a very uncivilized condition. It's going to get worse.

Want to try again?
that is simply a lie
and as always, the dems cheated and lied
and the dems again cheated
most do not support the murder of an innocent child
I also believe it is generally wrong to interfere with this. I do believe there are some instances where it is absolutely wrong to force a woman to have the baby. (I knew someone who at 6 months had a sonogram of her baby with half a brain and half a heart. It was destined to die. I can't see the use in forcing her to carry it for 3 months more just to put it in an incubator and watch it die.)
Nevertheless, politically, it's a losing issue. What Hill do we want to Die on? The abortion hill? Isn't there so much more at stake? Crime, inflation, energy, corruption...I say let them have their damned abortions. It's a hill we shouldn't die on. A Captain is about to march his platoon into a meat grinder. He has to ask himself, Is this the Hill I want to Die on today? Is this worth it?
Do we want to lose elections for ever based on abortion? If the conservative movement dies on the hill over abortion, then it loses all influence whatsoever. Then a runaway liberal imbalance exists, which will quickly turn to a dystopian nightmare. Conservatives might want to flex a bit in order to retain some power as opposed to having zero power.
This argument says nothing about the basic morality (immorality) of the abortion issue.
Do really think we can do anything after our cowardice retreat from that immorality?
The rest of the world is licking their chops about dividing the spoils of post-America. Make no mistake about it, the the world is watching America circle the drain. Some watch in horror, others see opportunity.
If there was one glimmer of hope left; kick the central bank out of this country, force financial responsibility upon our congress critters by printing our own currency backed by something more than just fantasy. While we're at it, kick out the UN, the CFR, dissolve the FBI and CIA: for they are nothing more in theory and practice than an American version of Geheime Staatspolizei.
Personally, I think our goose is cooked.
some may use other "systems" than estrogen
at some point, the health of our kids should be an issue for us all, right now it seems it isn't
Then completely separately, you explain how one or two cells are a human being.
an innocent Unborn Child that has dene NOTHING to be murdered for
to say otherwise is a delusional lie
i wonder if The Pill and all its variations have anything to do with the increase in children with issues
