Does life begin BEFORE conception?
I'm hearing rumblings of banning the morning after pill, which keeps an egg from becoming fertilized.

@MalteseFalconPunch There is some verse in the bible about how it is better to spill your seed in a wh*re than on the ground. So yeah, apparently a normal bodily function is a sin.
I wonder then if using the restroom is a sin somehow?

@CestManan The law in the OT was that if a family member died with no heir, the brother of the deceased would take the widow to wife and help her have a son so that the property would remain in the family. Women of the time were not allowed to own property. Having a son allowed them to be financially stable and taken care of. Onan's brother died and he took Tamar to wife and had sex with her but instead of giving her his seed as instructed by God, he pulled out and spilled his seed in the dirt, he was punished for not fulfilling the law. Onan felt he would be in a financial advantage if Tamar did not have a son. Search "Sin of Onan" Onan's withdraw is where the church gets ideas that contraception is a sin.

It depends on how you define life. Technically all cells are alive, including egg and sperm cells. So you can argue that life absolutely begins before conception.
The pro-life argument that life begins at conception has no basis in science. It's just an arbitrary starting point. Some others believe that life doesn't begin until the first heartbeat, the first breath, or the point where the embryo begins taking human features.
There is no conclusive definition from a scientific point of view because the concept what defines a life is tainted by ideological biases.

They can't define the biological attributes of personhood thus personhood can't be defined as existing at any particular point.
Even a 40 year old my not be a person. You can't base a law on a definition that is undefined.
This is called a philosophical zombie. That is what is a soul and what is the difference in comparison to a person that doesn't have one.
Personhood is entirely a religious topic. And if humans haven't figured it out in 200,000 years then Chad from podunk isn't going to even if they are a scotus.

Im sure laws banning or at least limiting availability to contraception are next. The evangelical church does not support contraception. As one can remember from hobby lobby refusing to cover the cost in their health insurance. Gay marriage will probably be over thrown as well.

I have nothing against the morning after pill as long as the long term health affects of the taker has been taken into consideration.

I had the idea that the morning after pill does its work after conception

@Moxymoxy then it makes sense that there are a lot of misunderstandings because when I Google for it all I find is a lot of hits saying it prevents implantation

Yes and ectopic pregnancy is just another made up thing by evil women who want to kill babies.
