This is nothing but circular reasoning commonly referred to in logic as "Begging the Question." That is assuming as fact what you are trying to demonstrate. In other words no one will believe or accept this curcular argument except that who are already convinced of your position. The rest of us see right though it!

???....uh, do you understand what circular reasoning is?......I didn't state an argument, I stated two specific facts......first, that abortion was not viewed as morally acceptable before science identified the point at which life begins and two, that since we now DO know when life begins, claiming we didn't know it before doesn't justify ignoring that fact NOW.....our decision now should be based on what we know now......how the fuck is that a circular argument?....

...and demographic trends show a sharp decline in conservative Christian churches retaining membership. Its a real life issue...check out how many teens are at the mall vs at church on Sunday. Batshit crazy has an end...

and twenty years from now there will be more teens at the mall than at church......but, the teens that were at the mall today will be 38 and raising children.....and the demographic trends that have been fairly consistent for a long long time tell us that that is when they look to join a church......because being bat shit crazy DOES have an end.....that happens with maturity....

Perhaps when you die the higher power will be an angry Chinese female angry with you for worshiping a white Hebrew male diety.

perhaps....and like you, if I am wrong I will have made the choice I wanted and will have to live (forever) with the consequences....
