i think it does. its a scientific fact that sperm is alive. and i believe that doctors and law makers are wrong to allow abortions. if they don't want to get pregnant then don't have sex. if you do any way give the child up for adoption. killing it should not be a option. but this is just my opinion and not part of the question
can you tell me what verse in the bible tells man not to spill his seed upon the ground?

the question isn't what it is but the fact it is living before conception.

a woman's egg is not living it is a empty shell in which life grows it only becomes part of the woman a few weeks after it is fertilized. and sperm lives for 72 hours.

I don't know the exact location, but I know the saying is,"Its better for your seed to end up in the belly of a whore than on the floor." I think that puts a lot of men at ease! lmao!

Sperm can merely stay in fertile cervical mucus for as much as 5 days then it dies. In non-fertile cervical mucus, it dies interior some hours. the female's egg lives a optimum of 24 hours if no longer fertilized. The the two have a finite existence span. while the sperm fertilized the egg (theory), it takes around a week and as much as ten days for the fertilized egg to implant in the uterus. as quickly as the egg implants then the physique starts to launch the being pregnant hormone HCG. past to date the ladies isn't yet pregnant. the female's physique does not get the sign to start the technique of being pregnant till after implantation. a lot of people conceive and not in any respect develop into pregnant. Scientist estimate that this happens forty-50% of the time. So rather existence could start up at implantation no longer theory. And that still does no longer mean that each and every thing will bypass nicely after that. 25% of all pregnancies bring about miscarriage in the 1st trimester.

Did you miss high school biology and the part about to gametes combining to form a complete fertilized egg?
Before fertilization, a complete set of human chromosomes are not present, afterwards, they are & the fertilized egg can develop into a human being... sperm cannot...
And the part about spilling seed (genesis 38:9-10)- you do realize that the crime there was that the man was using his wife for sex and not allowing her to have a child, an heir who would take care of her in her old age... it's from a totally different time when children were blessings and to rob a woman of the opportunity to conceive was a travesty... I'm afraid the point of this story will make no sense to modern ears...

It could be argued, from your point of view, that when a woman has her period, and expells an egg, that she has destroyed a human life. Is that not murder with this kind of logic? I'll take it a step further. Sperm has a life of about 90 days, give or take, and can be killed because of tempurature variations that can fluxuate only within about 5 degrees. So, it can also be argued that if a man goes into a hot tube, or a swimming pool, that he is a murderer. I hope that you realize that these would be the implications if we thought of sperm as equal to a human being.

Sperm are part of the Daddy's body and Ova are part of Mommy's body. It's when they meet and tango, then they become their own little entity. When that entity has rights is a very contentious and religiously based argument. I just wonder how a country that is founded on freedom of religion can make a law that forbids an atheist to have an abortion.

Yeah! The "sin of Onan" was that he spilled his seed on the ground"! So I guess all those living cells perished, & god got mad at Onan.
Don't know the exact verse though.
cheers! *drink*

Sperm cells are alive... So are your outermost skin cells, which die every day and fall off you. And the bacteria that enter your body, and then get hunted down and killed by your defenses.
The life of things like that is just the workings of machinery.

Look up Judah(one of the 12 sons of Jacob) and his sons in the book of Genesis. Tamar was married to his first two sons. God took their lives for spilling their seed rather than impregnating Tamar. I believe God did that because it was a rejection of God's command to multiply and fill the earth, plus it was an evil rejection of Tamar herself. It was like slapping God in the face and saying that being "created in the image of God" was meaninglesss.

Abortion laws have nothing to do with 'life'. They are based upon RIGHTS. According to the Fourteenth Amendment, people get a Constitutional right to life as of BIRTH, therefore fetuses are not eligible.
