So, all organisms are equal ("no less of a life")? Bacteria have just as much a right to life as a human being? You kill thousands of bacteria every day because they aren't self-aware. By your own definition, that makes you just as bad as a mass human murderer. How is a single-cell-stage human embryo different from a single bacterium cell? You're being speciesist and biased towards humanity if you think there's a difference. There has to be a distinction, and the point where it is unacceptable to abort should be decided on a case-by-case basis considering the opinion of scientists, medical experts and the parents.

I never said all organmisms are equal I believe that human beings are in a sense superior beings but we should have a respect for other living creatures.
I said that a lack of thinking ability doesn't make you less of a living being but I wasn't making a generalisation I was refering directly to single stage cell humans , a singe-cell-stage human being and a single bacterium can't be judged on the same basis as they are far from the same thing , a single cell stage human being has the potential to become a fully developed human being , why would killing a single cell stage human being not be the same as killing a fully developed one , given the time and care it's innevitable that the prior will become the latter.
