No to rh bill because:
This is a relativist-inspired threat to Christian's faith and morals esp in view of God's eternal and natural law prescribing among others precepts about life.
Because intellectual justification like scientific studies about when life begins cannot assume same understanding much more position of God about it. For can any one who by scientific findings say that life begins at fertilization assume that the same is God's(understanding and position)? Is it not that understanding, interpretation and position about when life really begins belongs supposedly, exclusively to God?
Is this effort intended to justify concern on abortion? And is it not that answering question pertains to when life begins in view of abortion is man's pursuit of truth based on human reasoning, human knowledge? But is this not a show of human arrogance before God?
