Out of curiosity, and this may sound inappropriate, but what stops jerkin' off from being considered murder? If an embryo should not be aborted, how is jerkin' it any more better?
Ron Paul finally explained his strategy on abortion. I've been waiting all campaign to have him explain his pro-life strategy and how it differs from other pro-life candidates. Great Job Ron Paul!!

You're not the first person to ask this question and it's easy for others to dismiss it, but many people really don't know the difference. An embryo is a genetically distinct human being. It has the full number of chromosomes and even a day after conception the genes from both parents have combined to create a distinct human being that has not ever existed and will not ever exist again. The same two people could have a dozen kids and though their kids will be similar, unless they are identical twins, they are not genetically the same.
Sperm carries only half of the needed genetic material needed to form a human. They are not comparable.
