I posted this in Abortion debate. But
thought it should be in here too. I found
this rather interesting.
"Pro-choice" arguments
"'Fetal tissue' is no more a human being,
than a bolt is a Buick."
Those who argue that abortion does not
kill human life must have skipped high
school biology, never picked up a medical
book, or else are deliberately lying.
Virtually every secular medical book and
even a senate hearing declare human life
begins the instant of conception.
A report from Senate Judiciary Committee
S-158, 1981 reads: "Physicians, biologists
and other scientists agree that conception
marks the beginning of the life of a human
being--a being is alive and is a member of
the human species. There is overwhelming
agreement on this point in countless
medical, biological, and scientific
writings."
A split second after conception, this
one-celled forty-six-chromosomed human
being possesses everything it needs to
grow into an adult human except time.
It's not a blueprint of a human being.
It's not a part of a human being. It is a
human being. Never has a bolt grown into a
Buick!
Because words are so important in this
debate, Dr. Jack Wilke, the former
director of "National Right to Life,"
warns pro-lifers to avoid emotion-laden
words like "homicide" and "baby." He urges
the use of "kill" and "human life."
Pro-choicers can engage in wordplay
arguing that a "baby" is not "mur**ed,"
but cannot refute--with any scientific
credibility--that abortions do indeed kill
human life.
A close cousin to the "it's not human
life" argument is . . .
"A woman has a right to choose what she
will with her own body."
Again, this pro-choice/pro-abortion
argument reveals ignorance of human
physiology or, again, the perpetuation of
a deliberate lie.
The life growing within the mother is not
her body.
It has a very different chromosome
structure with a separate circulatory
system and often a different blood type.
There's even a fifty-fifty chance it's a
different gender!
"A woman should be able to choose life in
her medical care"
Only 2 percent of the one and a half
million abortions performed each year in
the United State were for the express
purpose of saving the mother's life. The
overwhelming number of abortions performed
do not "save" anyone's life.
