The misrepresentation is when you act as if anyone believes sperm cells are also human lives.
Pro-life position: Life begins at conception/implantation.
Misrepresentation: Life may as well begin in the testes.
Pro-choice position: Life begins sometime in the second trimester.
Misrepresentation: One may as well abort at any time in the pregnancy.
In both cases, one side pushes their opponent's position further down the timeline than is actually represented. You have both committed the first distortion and resisted the second in this thread alone.
But they are the same issue. I'm not sure how much more clearly I can spell this out, it's not that complicated.
