Because they are a couple of cells, not human life.

It is consciousness, sentience, mobility and many other things, which two cells are not.

I don't have all the answers, to be fair. However, I do know that two cells is not a full human being.

So you have no objective test and are just declaring the answer. Great discussion.

Yes. They're just a collection of cells that lack self-awareness and aren't even human. OP would argue that aborting them in any way physically possible is a good thing.

Is this logic any different or better than the pro-life "every sperm is sacred" reasoning, or is it just the same thing with the positions reversed?
