Doesn’t change core issue

The approval of the abortion pill, RU-486, may change something about abortion but certainly not its essence. The matter remains this: When does human life begin? We can know, if we know what determines human life. And we have the one and only answer – genetics. So, then, when do genetics begin? We know that, too! They are found in finished form at conception. What follows is growth – not life. Conclusion: Life begins at conception.
