The more pro-lifers are victorious--see the Dobbs decision overturning Roe--the more pro-abortionists are intent on revisiting topics that are already long since settled.
So we get stories from the reliable pro-abortion National Public Radio with the headline "When does life begin? As state laws define it, science, politics and religion clash."
Sarah Varney uses a familiar tactic. Argue that since the definition of death is now ("more or less") settled, then we ask "when exactly does human life begin? At conception, the hint of a heartbeat, a first breath, the ability to survive outside the womb with the help of the latest technology?"
Notice how Varney repackages the question. For the moment skip the last nine words:
Unlike the debate over death, which delved into exquisite medical and scientific detail, the legislative scramble to determine when life's building blocks reach a threshold that warrants government protection as human professionals.

Medical professionals and bioethicists caution that both the beginning and end of life are complicated biological processes that are not defined by a single identifiable moment -- and are ill suited to the political arena.
"Unfortunately, biological occurrences are not events, they are processes," said David Magnus.
