Abortion

concept that a fetus is only a blob of tissue until it is born, or the

statement: life begins at birth. Abortion is not as simple as removing a "blob

of tissue" (as the pro-abortion activists put it) from a woman's body. Abortion

is the destruction, dismembering and killing of a human life--an unborn baby.

"But it is scientific and medical fact based on experimental evidence, that a

fetus is a living, growing, thriving human being, directing his or her own

development" (Fetal Development). A fetus is not just a blob of tissue, rather a

fetus is Latin for "offspring or young one." Human life begins at fertilization,

therefore it is wrong to murder the innocent child in the womb. At a US Senate

Judiciary Subcommittee meeting, most scientists said that life begins at

conception or implantation of the embryo. No scientist at the meeting claimed

that life begins at birth (Factbot). Professor Hymie Gordon of the Mayo clinic

stated "' . . by all criteria of modern biology, life is present from the moment

of conception'" (Fetal Development). In a 1963 Planned Parenthood pamphlet

entitled 'Plan Your Children' it states "an abortion kills the life of a baby

after it has begun. It is dangerous to your life and health" (Factbot). Even

though abortion is dangerous to a woman's life, and it kills her baby, Planned

Parenthood still offers it as a safe solution. This statement contradicts what

most abortion clinics say. It is not possible for abortion to be offered to

women as a safe solution, when it not only puts her life in danger, but it also

kills her child.

Not only has science proven that a fetus
