Pile of Cells Stamp

A common argument used by pro-choicers to validate abortion is that the fetus (or any stage of fetal development) is just a clump of cells. I have yet to see anyone argue against this point with a real hard-hitting comeback, so here's mine.

The truth is that all living things are made up of cells. Trees, animals, humans.... Cells are the building blocks of life. When you get right down to it, everything is a clump or something, be it atoms or cells, but given shape by the organization of said atoms/cells.

When a sperm fertilizes an egg, they form a single cell called a zygote. This cell then divides into two cells, which then divide into four, and eight, and so on. This process of cell division continues through pregnancy, and, in fact, through the entire life span. Because of this, the average human adult has between 50 to 75 trillion cells.

50 to 75 trillion cells. That's quite a clump right there.

Lastly, I'd just like to say that, if the destruction of human life based on it being a "clump of cells" is justifiable, then, by that logic, the life of the woman you claim you want to give freedom of choice to, or save the life of, is just as expendable as the baby she carries.
