[quote:wz387lu9]Yes it is. But, for murder to occur life had to exist. That is the nexus of this whole debate. If you do not believe life occurs prior to birth, then our argument is meaningless and what we quote from scripture and gospel have no value. The crux to all of this is you must believe that life begins at conception. [/quote:wz387lu9]
But that’s the kicker – John Kerry has claimed publically that he believes life starts at conception.

That’s one reason I have such a hard time understanding his rationale for allowing abortion and referrring to it as an “article of faith”. It’s not an article of faith – it’s an issue of human rights! That baby is human. (that was the theme of this week’s Archbishop’s Column[/url:wz387lu9] in my archdiocese)
