your kidding, right? how is science unclear on this? I learned in 4th grade about conception and fetuses, etc.
The only thing science has not yet told us definitively is when a fetus is viable, which at least to some is a highly relevant point between conception and delivery.
The debate on balancing lives is a question of whether there should be a balancing of interests or not. Anti-abortion says not, except (perhaps) in the limited circumstances where either the fetus or the mother will die (hi, greedy!).
When I see folks in priest outfits holding up bottled fetuses, I do not see them carrying scientific evidence of life. I see them carrying an emotional appeal to a moral determination.
