That's absurd. Let's say that science progresses to the point where the beginning of life can be pinpointed without doubt, and that point is way before birth. The issue would become huge for both sides.

Good Lord, listen to what you're saying. The EXACT same words could be said about abortion. It just depends on which side of the debate you're on as to which issue seems silly to fight over and which doesn't.

But if you understood the biology of conception and pregnancy, you'd know this is an absurd "what if". It simply isn't worth discussing because it isn't a possibility. The issue of where life begins will ALWAYS be a personal opinion.

No, it couldn't. Roe v Wade has no legitimate chance of being overturned. The very nature of the second amendment is in question and sweeping legislation on that issue is a very legitimate possibility.

And for the record, I'm against abortion.
