What is life? What has life? How do you know if something has life? Is it dependent on whether it has soul? Or because you see a minute muscle twitch? If it's the latter, how come a movement can represent the presence of life? I see the paper flap in the wind, does it mean the paper has life?
How do you know there is life in the embryo just because of the tissue and cell activity? How come you're sure it is living, without it's brain and all? Why can't it just be a potential living thing? Why is it immoral to go for abortion? You can't even be sure if there is already life in the fusioned cell. You can't be sure, but you chose to believe there is. Why not the other way round, since you can't prove either?
Even if it is living, how come it's cruel to go for abortion? Does it have feelings? Will it cry? Why is human worth more than plants? We have no problem eating raw vegetables, why not embryos?
Maybe because it rhymes with Ambrose. Oh!

You give life to a certain entity when you feel it is fitting, based on your own feelings, thoughts or reasoning.
If you wish to take that label away, that is, too, your own feelings, thoughts and reasoning at work. You have the right to do so.
But whether you consider them lively or lifeless is not as significant as doing something that may possibly change the object in question from one state to another.
Are you willing to take that chance in abortion?
I might not believe that a foetus is devoid of life, but to pretend that there exists not even the slightest possibility that it may be otherwise is simply too big a burden to bear.
Of course, abortion is not always a moral choice. But that's a whole topic altogether.
And you're editing your post while I'm refreshing the page.
It's magic!
OH! Harrison!!! How impressive is that?! HAHA!
