So what exactly is abortion? In our culture, the headlines we usually hear are that it is healthcare. It is a choice. To some it’s a constitutional right. These are big claims, so why don’t we examine them to see if they’re true.
Given that there were an “estimated 325,000 unintended pregnancies averted by Planned Parenthood services” in 2023, why don’t we ask them since they’re the experts?
Planned Parenthood’s Definition of Abortion
"Abortion is a safe and legal way to end pregnancy…
Abortions are very common. In fact, 1 in 4 women* in the U.S. have an abortion by the time they are 45 years old."
Interesting…so abortion is a safe and legal way to end pregnancy. Hmmm…and apparently, 1 in 4 women in the U.S have one in their life time. That sounds like it’s ok, since it’s popular, right?
Well, one question I’ve got here…what is a pregnancy? If abortion is the termination of a pregnancy, what exactly do we mean by pregnancy?
According to NCI, pregnancy is:
The condition between conception (fertilization of an egg by a sperm) and birth, during which the fertilized egg develops in the uterus. https://www.cancer.gov/publications/dictionaries/cancer-terms/def/pregnancy
So then, what exactly is between conception and birth? What’s inside the uterus during a pregnancy?
It is a biological fact that human life begins at fertilization, this is not disputable.
‘“At fertilization, the human being emerges as a whole, genetically distinct, individuated zygotic living human organism, a member of the species Homo sapiens, needing only the proper environment in order to grow and develop. The difference between the individual in its adult stage and in its zygotic stage is one of form, not nature.”
So human life begins at conception (fertilization), pregnancy is the time period between conception and birth, and abortion, as defined by Planned Parenthood, is the safe and legal way to end pregnancy.
So…abortion is?
Abortion is a marketing catch phrase to cover up the disgusting reality that it is the unjust, premeditated murder of a human in exchange for convenience. And not just any human, but the most innocent, defenseless, voiceless among us.
But it gets worse, because to understand this evil, we need to take a closer look at the abortion procedures. How exactly do these paid hit men abort a baby? What kind of process does the baby go through when they are aborted?
