Glad to hear that you think this is not "damage"....

Taking life away from a human being is not authorized by God for man. God gives us life, and He takes it away. No man has the "right" to supersede God. Ever. For any reason. Apparently, you who do not have faith in God seem to think taking on this decision to end a life is okay for you to rationalize by stating reason after reason why it should be okay to kill another human being. But for every single reason you give, the one thing that remains, that you want to "forget" is that the baby should not be held responsible for the adults' actions. The price of a life should never be for inconvenience, rape, incest or anything except danger to the mother's life. And I question even that as an excuse to kill a baby with its whole life ahead of it.

And in my opinion, it's just a matter of time before science and technology make it possible to see without doubt that life begins at the time of conception - fertilization. We're almost there...so far, this is what scientists are seeing now: During the first 24 hours, once the sperm and egg bind to each other, the membranes of these two cells fuse, creating in less than a second a single hybrid cell: the zygote, or one-cell embryo. To protect his or her bodily integrity, within minutes the zygote initiates changes in its ionic composition, releasing zinc in a spark that induces “egg activation,” first modifying the surrounding zona pellucida blocking further sperm binding to the cell surface. Cooperation between sperm and egg components to achieve replication of DNA, cell division, and growth occurs as maternally (mother) and paternally (father) derived factors in the zygote begin interacting with and chemically modifying each other to initiate the final round of meiotic division in the maternally derived nucleus to enable DNA replication.

That is within 24 hours of fertilization....but they're looking at even those 24 hours in an effort to see deeper into the cells and their immediate activity upon that fertilization. It won't be long before this argument about when life begins will be settled by science.

To have exceptional power, in world affairs, among nations, is overall not good. It's only necessary in a practical way in a zero-sum game; but even then it's questionable. For example, the U.S. has enormous (exceptional) military power which is more than it needs and, after a point, acquiring yet more military power has been counter-productive and tends to make the world a worse place.

Some think the U.S. is exceptionally morally good. I don't think so.

Exactly _what_ the U.S. is truly exceptional in (aside from its military power) is yet another matter. Possibly one thing it's exceptional in is having more mass shootings and/or more deaths by guns, in civilian life, than other countries have.

You're not very smart, are you? Did you ever graduate from any school anywhere?

According to independent and university research on homicide rates in countries around the globe,
the Central American countries have the highest homicide rates in the world.
Based on the number of homicides per 100,000 citizens, the rates for Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Venezuela range between 50 and 90 killings per 100,000 people.
The homicide rate in American is 4.8 killings per 100,000 people.
