Citing a prominent pro-abortion and pro-infanticide ethicist who nevertheless concedes scientific facts about the embryo

Peter Singer, ethicist at Princeton University and defender of both abortion and infanticide, is quoted: 'It is possible to give "human being" a precise meaning. We can use it as equivalent to "member of the species Homo sapiens"... in this sense, there is no doubt that from the first moments of its existence an embryo conceived from human sperm and eggs is a human being.' Mike uses Singer's concession to underscore that even extreme pro-abortion thinkers agree the embryo is biologically human.
