Looking for language that might resonate with anti-abortionists..

Adam was just a lump of clay until God breathed spirit (soul) into him. A fetus is an empty vessel.

If it was all about the fetus, then logically they would care about the child after they were born. But they really don't.

And logically they would want to prevent as many unwanted pregnancies as possible, which would mean sex education in the schools and low cost/free contraceptives for any woman that wants them. But they don't support that either.
