Anti-abortionists don't believe that life begins at conception.

[HoreTore]

Those heavily opposed to abortion will always claim that life begins at conception, and that a fetus is entitled to the same rights and protections as a human.

This is a lie, they do not believe this.

If we are to take their claim to be true, the US government kills 1.2 million humans every single year. And their response? Wave a couple of banners and write some angry letters. Is that anywhere near a reasonable response to the yearly murder of so many human beings? No, it is not. We invade entire countries for the deaths of a couple of thousands. If the belief of the anti-abortionists were genuine, they would be going mental.

Their fight is not for the sanctity of life. It is simply good old misogyny. They desire to keep young women in their place.

Let's illustrate this with an example:

Say a fertilization clinic is on fire. An anti-abortionist runs into the building to save as many lives as he can. He runs through the corridor and faces two glass doors. One door leads into a room filled with newborns. The other room is filled with tubes of inseminated eggs. He knows he will only have the time to go into one of the rooms. If his beliefs are genuine, that all life is worthy of the same protection and that life begins at conception, he will run to save the tubes as he will be able to carry more tubes than babies. However, barring severe mental illness, he will run for the babies.

Liar.
