Your ethical stance requires a dogmatic definition of when life begins
And so does yours.
I think most English speakers of our day would attach some negative connotation of intolerant religous doctrine or of illogical blatherings when the words "dogma" or "dogmatic" are used. I certainly took it in that sense, and I suspect this is the sense you mean it in.
So I looked it up. I think American Heritage's 3rd definition best characterizes my ethical stance.
My arguments have been no more "dogmatic" than yours or any other poster's, and have certainly been less than some, given that I have always provided a logical argument to back them up or refute attacks on them.
