To the editor:
I don’t understand why even antiabortionists like op-ed article writers Day and Camosy say they “believe” that abortion is killing. This is not a matter of opinion, but a matter of fact.
That life begins at conception is as much established fact as that the Earth is spherical. If there were doubt, scientific research would be ongoing into the issue. But there is none. There is no second opinion in science as to when human life begins.
Every accredited textbook on biology or physiology that has a chapter on human reproduction reads the same. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, two new sets of 23 chromosomes join together, forming a new, unique sequence of DNA. Then a new human life is in existence and the cells commence to divide and multiply, without ceasing, until death.
Abortion causes the death of a human. Support abortion if you must, but conscientious intellects reconcile their opinions to the facts.

Note from KBJ: The English language has the words "humanize" and "dehumanize" for a reason. Democrats humanize the likes of Hillary Clinton (by their own admission) and dehumanize fetuses (the latter quite literally). The end justifies the means.
