To be fair, most people would disagree with Professor Binchy’s definition that human life effectively begins at conception. That is not something with which most people with common sense would agree. For Professor Binchy to equate that with people who have been born, it frankly does not make sense on common sense grounds. It is an extreme position.
Professor Binchy did not answer my other question. Does he believe victims of rape and incest should be forced to continue with their pregnancies?
