Ok, captain obvious. If you break a fertilized chicken egg, it is the same thing as performing a human abortion. Put a fertilized egg in the incubator and you'll get a chicken, no hen required. If you buy farmer's eggs and eat them, you are not only performing abortions but also eating the chicken embryos.

As for comparing plants and animals to humans, well, do you know anything about biology? We evolved from plants and animals.
All life on Earth has some human DNA in it. Bananas have 60% of human DNA in them. Chimpanzees have 99% of human DNA.

But you are right, comparison of a human fetus to a self-sustaining, alive plant or animal is not quite right, a human fetus is much less structured and is a non-functional, developing life form. You pro-life guys brought the 'fetus is a life' argument, I just followed it to its conclusion.

If your argument is 'protect life', then you have to stop eating and protect all life.

If your argument is 'protect human life only' then, where is your empathy for other animals, including humans?
Why are you supporting tribalism (religions/nationalism) that leads to wars? Why are you supporting the death penalty (for humans)?

If your argument is 'protect human life only because humans are special', I would say prove it to me that we are.
From what we observed in nature, we are just another species, fundamentally no different than 5,400 other mammal species out there, and we are almost identical to about 350+ species of primates.

From what we see, the human population is growing exponentially, doubling every 70 years or so. We don't really need more humans.

We should probably keep the human population growth at zero percent so that we can figure out a way out of this rock.

Lieutenant, I do not know what your beliefs are but your argument about man coming from plants and animals does not match with mine. Man was created by God. That's all I have to say to this. Another thing concerning the egg example you kept using is that I want you to realize that there is something called 'table eggs'. Eggs like that will not hatch even if you leave them in the incubator for a year on a hen sits on it for that long. What that means is that an egg is just an ordinary egg until a hen sits on it or it is put in an incubator but a foetus is a growing baby in the womb already.

I called you lieutenant because you called me captain. Now you can salute!

Oh, boy. You said plenty. No need to discuss it any further.

I tried, but obviously, I failed.
