How is the combination of sperm and egg "a single cell"?

As an example on the topic of abortion, many conservatives believe a unique individual is created at conception, whereas most progressives would not deny there is unique DNA created at conception but the moment of conception is meaningless when establishing whether it’s a unique individual....a life, a child.
At this point many conservatives are finished establishing when a life is brought forth but progressives have a lot of explaining, hem hawing and general confusion going forward.
Good example. Can't get rid of viable embryos because its murder. We need to start locking IVF doctors up.

You come up with some wild premises and suppositions. Conservatives aren't trying to use abortion as some cudgel to change black behavior. Just trying to keep babies from being killed. Only time race enters the discussion is wanting to prevent a disproportionate number of black children being murdered en utero.
To try to couch that sentiment as a dishonest attempt to obfuscate conservative racism is truly disingenuous.

They each carry half the DNA a human needs so they have to merge into 1 cell before they DNA can replicate like a normal cell.

It's a feature of Marxism. The ends always justify the means, thus any argument that advances your agenda is a-ok. Lying, obfuscating, intellectual dishonesty, contradiction, etc, none of that matters so long as you advance the narrative of the day and push the conversation more and more towards Marxism.

Going further, I believe some form of emergency contraception like plan B should be used if involuntary or "accidental" insemination occurs. I'm sure there are many far leftists who fall into your definition. They dont care about conception, only that the woman has total control. And this stems from the biological fact that men can sleep with women and leave them with the responsibility. They never mention how the system is rigged to support single mothers, but i digress.

I'm not being dishonest at all, I believe it's a new creation/life at conception. This fallacy of sticking the mother with a child she can't raise is exactly that, a fallacy. There's a waiting list for couples waiting for newborn adoptions. Twenty three years ago my wife and myself were on such a waiting list for a biracial child....God answered our prayers.

The problem isn't that women are being forced to carry children they don't want. The problem is that our government has made the birthing and adoption processes unnecessarily long, expensive, and burdensome on people. There is no reason it should take months to adopt an American child. There is no reason it should cost tens of thousands of dollars. It should be a background check, an interview, and please take this baby no one wants ASAP. If anything, we should be PAYING married couples to adopt babies rather than the other way around.

Not everything has a clear black and white answer.
There is no developmental difference between a baby the day before it’s born and the day it’s born.

The simple answer isn’t always the right one.
The law sees a "fetus" as being a life if the Mother wants it. Look at all the laws which punishes the perp for a second count of murder/manslaughter if the baby dies in the commission of a crime but unwanted babies can still be aborted legally up to birth in many areas when they aren't wanted. Seems pretty simple to me based on wanted vs unwanted to me if we are using the law as a judgment standard taking other things out of the equation. What standard do you suggest using to settle the argument?

Most progressives, if pressed, will eventually admit that it is the woman who decides if it's a baby based on the woman's intentions to carry the baby full term. They don't like to admit that because it opens up so many cans of worms .....the most troublesome is the omission of any scientific definition of when a child is a child, this aspect is painful for progressives because they love to cite science when defending many of their political beliefs.

You guys know tax cuts don't pay for themselves, but you keep lying and saying that they do.

You are apparently since you make baseless claims without any evidence in your post to support it.

Tax Revenue Keeps Rising
The federal deficit is increasing, and the reason is spending.
May 12, 2019
You wouldn’t know it from the press coverage, but there’s some modest good news about the federal budget. The deficit is rising, but not as much as feared because tax revenues are increasing due to faster economic growth.
The Congressional Budget Office reports in its April budget review that revenues rose 2% to $2.041 trillion in the first seven months of fiscal 2019 from a year ago. Payroll tax revenue rose 4.7% due in part to rising employment and wages.
... April was the deadline for final 2018 tax payments for most corporations, and tax revenue from higher corporate profits partly offset the lower rate.
Overall revenues increased despite a sharp decline in payments to the Treasury from the Federal Reserve of $15 billion, or 34%. The decline is due to higher short-term interest rates that lead the Fed to pay banks more interest on their reserves. Watch this account closely in the future if the Fed’s reserve payments become a net Treasury drain. This is one cost of the Fed maintaining a very large balance sheet.
So why has the federal deficit increased by $145 billion this fiscal year to $531 billion? Because federal spending continued to rise rapidly—

Really? We're going to discuss US tax policy to determine who's honest or dishonest? Our country is in a serious unsustainable debt spiral because of out of control entitlements and wasteful spending of our tax dollars and you want to start your weak azz presence in this thread with that BS. It's you and your ilk that has contributed the lion's share to create this debt debacle. You can tax every 1%'er at a 70% tax rate and you won't solve the runaway debt spiral without addressing a myriad of other reasons that are contributing. Here, I got some advice for all you Prog/Dim worthless pieces of shite, take 10% of your net pay, not your gross, and donate it back to the government so y'all can meet the necessary financial obligations required to fund the US entitlement burden, once you do that then you can get into a thread such as this and run your yapper!
