Talk given at "Using Calm, Cool
Logic to Dismantle Pro-Choice Views," a Young Adult Pro-Life
Conference held at Christ the King Catholic Church on March 9,
2013. Dr. Clint Olson is a convert to Catholicism who is currently
a seminarian at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit. The three
questions that he addresses from a medical perspective are, When
does human life begin? Is the embryo or fetus inside the womb
really a human person? and What are the complications associated
with abortion that make it a harmful procedure, not just for the
child, but for the woman?
Key words: abortion, life,
conception, pro-life, pro-choice, pro-abortion, embryo, fetus,
personhood
