1. Human genetics and epigenetics can produce nothing except humans.
2. The genetics and epigenetics of a human fetus differ from those of the mother.
3. Therefore, the fetus is human and is a different human than the mother and is deserving of rights equal to those of the mother.
4. Further, the fetus did not cause the pregnancy, but is just as much a victim of it as is the mother.
5. Having done nothing to cause the pregnancy, the fetus is therefore an innocent human being not guilty of any crime whatsoever.
6. Therefore, terminating the life of the fetus is a despicable injustice that wisdom calls the shedding of innocent blood.
7. Human beings do have rights, but those rights do not extend to the wanton termination of the lives of those who inconvenience them.
8. You are responsible for your own behavior; your victims are not.
9. You are responsible for your own consequences and have no right to push them off onto the innocent victims of your profligate behavior.
10. Grow up and behave yourselves, and you will find greater peace.
