Do you seriously believe any president or any administration -
republican or democrat- will ever make abortion illegal again? You
really must be more naive than dumb... which is quite an achievement
in your case...

I don't get it. I can only see a few possible ways to understand this:
1) The term "actual human life exists" means something other than the
existence of something that is both alive and human.
2) Sperm cells are not alive.
3) Human sperm cells are not human.
I wonder what "present day scientific evidence" they could possibly be
referring to.

Well, it's like this: The cell is a basic unit of life.
This measure is just a prequel. What with the advances in cloning tech, that statement
above will literally become far truer than any moralist could possibly suspect. Thus, we
need legislation to ease folks into the concept.
Consider: How will we line up oncologists for the firing squad for destroying melanoma? We
need baby steps. First a non-implanted blastocyte, tomorrow... Death to anyone whom gets a
sunburn. (Do you know how many potential human lives a sunburn could kill in just a few
years? Hundreds of thousands! Millions!)
All potential life is sacred. But we must ease the public into the concept of the perils
of becoming mass murderers.
Eventually, the death penalty will apply to those murderous fiends whose own bodies
destroy countless cells per day. The defense of "it was programmed into my genes" will
become moot; Programmed Cell Death is a tool of Satan! His followers will be executed!
After all, life is sacred.

And an act to define the ratio of a circle's circumference to its
diameter to be 3 as God intended. Heck, let's declare carbon dioxide
to be a pollutant while we're at it. DEATH TO POLLUTING TREES!
