How do we know "human life" begins at conception? How does the RCC define "human life?" Is the conjunction of a sperm and egg a "human life?" If not, when does it become a "human life?" How can a mass of cells that cannot exist outside the mother's body be a "human life?" Why has the RCC made women the lesser sex for two thousand years? Why is the RCC pushing for legislation in the US to define life as beginning at conception; this has not been a position of scholars, theologians or a majority of Americans. Why doesn't the RCC  believe in keeping religious beliefs out of the public sphere? Why does church leadership refuse to separate church and state? Is a theocratic society the next step for the US?
