‘A Fetus Is A Life’

Published 6 July 2010

Antonia Senior – writer, feminist and pro-choice activist – wrote a recent article in the Times stating her belief, following the birth of her daughter, that ‘a fetus is a life’.  She writes heart-warmingly:

My daughter was formed at conception, and all the barely understood alchemy that turned the happy accident of that particular sperm meeting that particular egg into my darling, personality-packed toddler took place at that moment.  She is so unmistakably herself, her own person – forged in my womb, not by my mothering.

Sadly however, Senior is still very much pro-choice despite her now firm and outspoken belief that human life begins at conception.  Read R Albert Mohler’s comments here.
