A large majority of Americans say they believe life begins either at conception or when a heartbeat can be detected, while only 13 percent say it begins at birth, according to a new survey by Lifeway Research survey conducted for the Land Center for Cultural Engagement.

The poll found that 35 percent of Americans say they believe life begins at conception, while 28 percent say they believe it begins when the heartbeat is detected. All total, 63 percent of Americans reject the pro-choice argument that the fetus in the womb is not life. Another 13 percent say life begins when the baby is viable outside the womb, while 13 percent say it begins at birth.
