14. He's Setting The Frame, "Abortion = Murder"; Don't Accept It
Reframe the argument. Abortion isn't murder because a fertilized egg is not a person. It's a clump of living cells. Just like cancer is a clump of living cells. If he's not against cutting out a cancerous tumor, then he's a hypocrite.

This person who so values life, I'm sure, also squashes bugs, cuts down trees/grass/plants, owns mousetraps, supports war and capital punishment, and will turn around and argue that when women actually are forced to start having all these unwanted babies, they should receive no assistance from the government to help raise the children (because this devout lover of life doesn't give a tinker's damn about you once you leave the birth canal). Because, after all, the Bible says that at the end of the day, low taxes are more important than life. I'm sure HIS Bible (the one he has memorized in his own mind) says that, anyway.
