When does God view human life as beginning? I don't know, he never stated his view.

Uh....yes He did.

I've never read in the bible that a human beings life begins at conception? Maybe I missed it?

[AreYouReady?]

You must have missed it then.

This verse of scripture tells of God's intent to bring forth a prophet into this world.

Our laws reflect our beliefs as a society for the most part. The majority of people want abortion to be legal and so it is. The majority might place restrictions on gestational age, etc. but since they can't agree, and many see either;

a. The fetus not human until some particular gestational age (frogs position?)
b. The interference of government in private matters as worse than abortion (Aquila's position-loosely)
c. Some other issue that keeps them from being able to be effective or united

We are left with a completely ineffective, very loosely bound group who would change the law. Discussions like this help people to first and foremost identify exactly where they stand on these issues and also help them decide if they could bend a little in order to become part of a cohesive force to slow or stop the current rate of convenience pregnancy terminations, which are by far the majority.

Do you believe that people in the U.S. in general do not support abortion Hoovie?

79% do not support the current abortion-on-demand policy, saying abortion should be legal only in some circumstances (68%), or illegal in all circumstances (11%).

That is probably the worst prooftext for anything that I have ever seen

Yet it becomes clear that when you insert "abortion" anywhere into the equation, God's plan is subverted; hmm...
