Pro-Life Reply: When Does Life Begin

The Pro-Life Reply to: “No One Knows When Life Begins”

In this video, Dr. Tara Sander Lee, a molecular geneticist and Director of Life Sciences for the Charlotte Lozier Institute, delivers a scientific response to this common argument and dives into the developmental stages of the preborn child.

Have a listen. This lesson is under 5 minutes. In it, the speaker makes these points:
  • Not knowing when life begins should be an argument AGAINST abortion
  • The developing baby grows at an extremely rapid pace, especially in the first trimester
  • At 22 weeks, it is possible for babies to be born and survive outside the womb
  • In the womb, babies exhibit behaviors we do as adults
  • Zygote, blastocyst, embryo, and fetus are all terms that merely refer to age
  • Preborn babies are not parasites; if they were, the mother’s immune system would attack it
  • It is a scientific certainty that human life begins at the moment of fertilization
