What's funny is that you can't back your ideas up with fact. Not even from a pro-choice website. It gets into some philosophical rationalization. "Can't prove a negative" because the negative is empty and wrong.

Evidently, it can't be at fertilization...since an identical twin doesn't exist at fertilization.


("Conception" really isn't an accurate nor a medical/biological term. A better term to use in this discussion is "fertilization.")
Yes it does. Fertilization still starts the ball rolling. No fertilization, no twins or anything.
This is a dodge. And really it's irrelevant, if there's material to abort, there's life. So the exact moment is academic.

For the same reason the body expels an unfertilized egg and the male makes millions of sperm, some expelled during sleep.

Perhaps, then, you might be able to explain how the human life of a non-existing identical twin begins at fertilization?

Well, a simple sentence from you saying, "I am apparently wrong about my opinion that human life begins at fertilization" would suffice.

Simply put:

A single cell, generally speaking, exists at fertilization.

Evidently, if an identical twin doesn't exist at fertilization since there is only a single cell at fertilization, then an identical twin's human life doesn't begin at fertilization.

Therefore, there is no certainty that human life begins at fertilization.

For the same reason writing begins when the pencil writes a word. You can't communicate by just holding a pen and having blank paper.
