LR Podcast -- Ep. 32 PREVIEW -- Josh's Head Explodes over Nancy Pelosi

Josh: We recorded this the day after Nancy Pelosi made her controversial statements. I have never become so frustrated during the recording of a show, and it was hours later before my heart rate got back down to normal.

I'm uploading this way before the full episode will go live at ProLifePodcast.net because this is happening now, and I don't want to wait a month before we get this out. The entire show was awesome, and I'm looking forward to you having the chance to hear it.

This video is from the 32nd episode of Life Report. Listen to past shows at http://ProLifePodcast.net.

EVIDENCE THAT LIFE BEGINS AT FERTILIZATION:
- "[The Zygote] results from the union of an oocyte and a sperm. A zygote is the beginning of a new human being. Human development begins at fertilization, the process during which a male gamete or sperm ... unites with a female gamete or oocyte ... to form a single cell called a zygote. This highly specialized, totipotent cell marks the beginning of each of us as a unique individual." (The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology, 6th ed. Keith L. Moore, Ph.D. & T.V.N. Persaud, Md., (Philadelphia: W.B. Saunders Company, 1998), 2-18.)

- • "It is the penetration of the ovum by a spermatozoan and resultant mingling of the nuclear material each brings to the union that constitutes the culmination of the process of fertilization and marks the initiation of the life of a new individual."( Human Embryology, 3rd ed. Bradley M. Patten, (New York: McGraw Hill, 1968), 43.)

- • "The zygote thus formed represents the beginning of a new life." (Briological Principles and Modern Practice of Obstetrics. J.P. Greenhill and E.A. Friedman, (Philadelphia: W.B. Sanders, 1974), 17.)

- • "Every time a sperm cell and ovum unite a new being is created which is alive and will continue to live unless its death is brought about by some specific condition." (Pathology of the Fetus and the Infant, 3d ed. E.L. Potter and J.M. Craig, (Chicago: Year Book Medical Publishers, 1975), vii.)

- Former president of Planned Parenthood Alan Guttmacher said that life begins at conception, and that "this all seems so simple and evident to us that it is difficult to picture a time when it was not part of the common knowledge." (Life in the Making, Viking Press, 1933.)

- "Conception confers life..."
Rites of Life: The Scientific Evidence for Life Before Birth, by Landrum B Shettles, Zondervan (December 1983)

- After eight days of hearing consisting of 57 witnesses, including world-renowned geneticists, biologists, and practicing physicians, the Senate Subcommittee of Separation of Powers concluded in a report published in 1981 the following: "The testimony of these witnesses and the voluminous submissions received by the Subcommittee points to a clear conclusion: the life of a human being begins at conception." (U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Separation of Powers, Report on The Human Life Bill -- S. 158 (Dec. 1981)

- Dr. Hymie Gordon (Mayo Clinic): "By all criteria of modern molecular biology, life is present from the moment of conception."

- Dr. Micheline Matthews-Roth (Harvard University Medical School): "It is scientifically correct to say that an individual human life begins at conception."

- Dr. Alfred Bongioanni (University of Pennsylvania): "I have learned from my earliest medical education that human life begins at the time of conception."

- Dr. Jerome LeJeune, "the Father of Modern Genetics" (University of Descartes, Paris): "To accept the fact that after fertilization has taken place a new human has come into being is no longer a matter of taste or opinion . . . it is plain experimental evidence."

I saw a great program on EWTN last night (didn't catch the title). A lawyer giving a talk on the flaws in scientists debate over Darwin and natural selection.

He made the point about how the proponents are so invested in this theory that they make the data fit the theory, and lose their scientific objectivity in the process.

I think you can persuade SOME through rational argument, but for the rest - you will never be able to logically convince them. It will take a conversion

[LifeReport]

I would only point out that the difference between evolution and the abortion debate is that in the abortion debate, it's pro-abortion-choice advocates that are losing their scientific objectivity in the debate. That tells me we can do better with rational argument on abortion than evolution.

I would agree though that there are some that would need to be converted before they changed their views on abortion.

"The question is not when life begins - the question is WHO MADE IT"

Bishop Sheen

[LifeReport]

Thanks for the comment, Bishop Sheen. I would of course agree wtih your that the question of Who creates life is hugely important to the abortion debate. However, I think pro-lifers can make a convincing argument against abortion to an atheist by arguing that abortion kills a living human being, which many atheists would agree is wrong even if they don't think God created the life. Any thoughts?

[MrAbolitionist]

Well yeah, some atheists might believe that abortion is wrong if they come to the conclusion that life begins at conception. However, the reason that they would say that murder is wrong would be because they are compromising their atheism in order to recognize the law of a God that they don't even believe exists

[AlreadyKnownAsX]

She was responding to the recent comments from Barack Hussein Obama at the Saddleback forum.

San Fran Nan's answer reflects her support for Obama and the lefts agenda. Stating that the Church has been in controversy over this is flat out wrong and a malicious lie on her part.

The left doesn't care about when life begins. Nor for the life of the child still in the womb. They only care about power.
