How often do we hear abortion/embryonic stem cell defenders refer to the embryo or the child in the womb as a “potential” human life? I’m stealing this quote from Rebecca Taylor:
No human embryologist has ever, nor would ever, use the word potential describing human life or even “life.” In fact, “potential” human life does not exist. All matter in the universe is classified as either living or non-living. One does not convert to the other. All that are living are either alive or dead. Those that are alive eventually become dead; once dead they cannot revert to living. There is no “potential” when referring to biological life! –Dr. C. Ward Kischer, emeritus professor of Human Embryology at the University of Arizona
There is no such this as a “potential” life!
Likewise, there is no such thing as “unwanted” life:
“Unwanted’ describes not a condition of a child but an attitude of adults” – Randy Alcorn
