Identical Twins = Why Full Human Spiritual Life with A Soul Does Not Begin At Conception
Anti abortionists claim that life beings at conception.

I propose that this can not be true because of a simple natural fact...idential twins (or more indential births due to embryo spitting).

If the growing embryo is a complete human then when it spits into twins those two developingembryos would have to be considered the same individual with the same soul.

Clearly twins are individuals with separate souls. Therefore their spirit/soul had to enter the embrionic zygotes at some point in time after conception and after the fertilized egg split, not before or at the time conception.

Otherwise one spirit sould would enter first while the other would have to wait until the orignal fertilized egg splits momemtarily without a sprit/soul giving preferential treatment to one twin soul over the other. That would also mean the second twin was born of the first twin in an asexual process.

Clearly these ideas are not accepted. Therefore the two sould of the twins had to enter after conception and after splitting. When exactly that is I cannot say but it is clear to me that twins prove that human life does not fully begin at conception unless you try to argue that the splitting occurs because two souls are forced into one cell.

It either is human life or it isn't.

All human life should be respected or none should be. There can't be grades of humans and only some count and others do not.

Can't have it both ways and many people object to abortion for reasons other than religion. Things like it is barbaric and inflicts horrific pain and suffering.

People who do not want children have the option of preventing it before the fact.
One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one.

Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway.

St. Thomas Aquinas postulated that the soul entered the fertilized egg at approximately five days after conception.

Well OP, I don't know about all your mumbo jumbo, so I'll give it to you from a "Twin"/s perspective.

I call my brother, my "Evil Twin" because I had to share my Mothers womb with an evil entity.

Indeed, my "Evil Twin" is evil!

Yahweh said, "Jacob I have loved, Esau I have hated". He created them both in the womb, one good, one evil!

Any questions?

Then birth control and masterbation would not be forbidden by the catholic church and others. This is where they get it from. They take a very literal view.

Your view is a more moderate opinion that does not support previous organized opinions on Onanism.
