It's nearly impossible to avoid the question of "when life begins" when talking to people about abortion. In a presentation at Google headquarters, Stephanie Gray shares questions she uses in her conversations on the subject (11:04 - 13:30). See the clip below. After watching, we suggest answering the following questions, preferably in dialogue with someone else:
"Biologically speaking, when do you think a living human organism begins to exist?"
"Do you believe it is possible for pro-choice and pro-life advocates to agree on a clear answer to this question?"
"How do you integrate the biology of when humans begin with your view on abortion, if at all?"
