If you are pronounced dead when your heat stops…
Why are you not pronounced alive when you heart Starts beating?
Abortion stops a beating heart.
Abortion is murder!
Murder is a crime.
Why isn’t Abortion Illegal?

I don’t.
I’m pro-life, but my view is:
If we’re pronounced dead when our heart stops, we should be pronounced alive when our heart starts beating.
Of course you’re free to disagree.
