Oh my gosh I just can't even...the stupidity is so strong with this one it makes my head hurt. Sadly I have seen MANY of the pro-abortion crowd just like her, and who say very similar things.

It's time for everyone to start treating people like they would want to be treated themselves. Post abortive women should NOT be cursed at and treated with disrespect. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 We are all sinners and do you really think you are going to help ANYONE or change anyone's mind about abortion if you come at them with hate and cursing and calling them names? Treat EVERYONE with respect and love them like JESUS told us too!

Now by doing this that doesn't mean that you agree with their former actions at all! Or that we don't tell them the truth but you can tell them the truth and teach them while treating with respect like a human being. They will listen to what you are saying MUCH more that way than they will if you treat them with indignation and hate. We want to help these women understand that LIFE is the right choice and help them to see that there are MANY crisis pregnancy centers and other organizations out there that are ready and more than willing to help them and their babies! But you will never get the chance to help them if you alienate the mothers! 

I have actually even heard (and this makes me sick to think that a grown person who calls themselves pro-life and sometimes even try to call themselves Christians) that some people who stand outside of abortion centers throw raw meat at the women who are going in and call them vile names and curse them. THAT is not the way to change their minds!!! Would you listen to someone that treated you like this? No you wouldn't. That is sick and childish and it won't help them listen to anything that the Pro-life cause has to say with those kinds of actions. And no true Christian would ever treat anyone this way either! To reach these people we need to treat them as we would want to be treated ourselves with respect and like a person. Because if you curse and throw things and take that kind of approach you are in fact helping the Pro-choice side infinitely more than the Pro-life one! You are doing more harm to the Pro-life cause than good, and you could be helping to loose even more lives by this type of ignorant behavior.

Many of the women who are considering abortion are very young many of them are being pressured by others many times those closest to them to have an abortion. Many have been told by them all around them that abortion is the way to go and that they have no other choice if they want to have a normal life. They are scared, they feel alone, and many have no idea that there are countless programs and people out there more than willing to help them and their babies and that will help them both so that both of them can have a chance at a better and happy life! But we are never going to reach these people who need us most if we or others treat them the way that I have mentioned above that some people who profess to be Pro-life are treating them. This will only push them further into the grips of abortion and Planned Parenthood and their lies that abortion is the quick, safe, and easy way out. It's NOT and we need to reach these women and help them not condemn them and push them further toward an abortion that will kill their innocent child and wound them for life.

Let's love them both the mother's and the babies and fight to save both of their lives because both of them are our brothers and sisters that is what being truly Pro-life is all about! It's about love, not hate there is already plenty of that on the other side and that is what we are trying to END. Let's love our neighbors as ourselves as Jesus taught us to do and help teach others that abortion is NEVER the right decision. That there is help and hope out there and fight to end abortion for the mother's and children's sakes. EVERYONE deserves better than abortion!

Here are two great videos that I found recently on how to answer the Pro-choicers who try to say that a baby in the womb is not a person. Both have great ways of showing the truth that the unborn is a human being and a person from the very moment of conception. I highly recommend both of these both for reference and ideas for how you can better answer these arguments yourself because they do come up OFTEN when you are Pro-life, and to share with others. And who knows you might even change someone's mind and heart about abortion. The first step is to get them thinking and talking about it and you would be amazed at times at what just even a little logic will do! :)

I had a person post on Voice for Hope’s Facebook page this last week in response to a post that I made on there and she that stated that aborting a fetus that doesn't have a brain isn't murder. So I made a response to her on the subject and I thought that it would be good to post it as a blog post here for reference for other Pro-lifer’s because this is a very common belief among many people that are pro-choice.

First I want to address that the reason that pro-choice people only like to call an unborn baby a clump of cells or a fetus is because they don't want to call it a baby or a child because that would make it harder to justify their belief that it is all right to kill that child. It is a tactic to dehumanize or separate emotion and reality that it is truly a living baby that they are referring too. The only difference is that it is in a different stage of it’s development (still in the womb) where you can’t see it yet with your eyes without an ultrasound machine. You need not look any further than ANY woman that wants the child that she is caring: do they go around saying "I'm going to have a fetus!" Or I just found out “I’m carrying a clump of cells!” No they say “I'm going to have a baby!” And rightly so because that is what they are going to have.

People like Abby Johnson that use to work as a director for 8 years at Planned Parenthood before she saw the light and became a very outspoken Pro-life advocate and speaker have testified that they teach their employees to always refer to the child as a fetus or a clump of cells and to NEVER under any circumstances to call a baby or a child. Because that would put the thought of what it really is into the woman's mind and she might change her mind about having the abortion. All abortion clinics use this tactic.

But it is murder to abort a baby or if you want to call it a fetus or even an embryo it's still murder. Putting another name on it doesn't change what it is. It is the taking of an innocent human life even though it is at an early stage in development. Its still murder if you kill a 2 year old or if you kill a 40 year old the only difference is their level of development: their size and age. The science of Embryology and all top Embryologists and even the top abortion advocates like Peter Singer, and David Boonin all concede and acknowledge the fact that a human being comes into existence at the moment of conception. Everything that that human being is going to be is already present and mapped out in their unique DNA at the moment of conception. All that they need is nutrition and the proper environment like any human being before or after them to continue to grow and be born.

The woman who made the comment on my post said that a fetus at 20 weeks doesn't have a brain so it’s not murder to abort it. However that’s not true a baby at 20 weeks does already have a functioning brain. The brain and its cerebral hemispheres appear and begin to grow rapidly at only 4 weeks and by 6 weeks brain activity has already begun. This is a scientific fact.  You can learn more about the development of babies in the womb and when their organs and bodily functions begin here http://www.ehd.org/index.php It's a great site that has a huge amount of facts and even videos of babies from the moment of conception up right up until birth that are invaluable information for pro-lifers. So you see there is no such thing as a fetus with no brain since a fetus by its medical definition is a baby 9 weeks after fertilization and by then it already has a brain that is functioning and that is long before 20 weeks. :)

  

I also highly recommend this great video from Stand to Reason on this same subject. I had seen it before this came up and I had it saved in my pro-life playlist on Youtube for reference. I also posted it in my response to her as well. All pro-lifer’s should see this one and many of the other videos in this great series he makes great points on this subject and those similar to it that can be very helpful when trying to explain the truth to others.

This is the main question that abortion hinges upon legally and for most people. Is what is the unborn? Is it a baby, is it a fetus, is it a person? The argument behind almost all reasons for abortions is that the unborn is not a human being or that it does not have the same value as a born person does.

Both of these arguments are easily refuted with simple truth and logic.

1. Every human is a human being, and every human being is a person. 

If a cat is pregnant and gives birth it has - kittens.

If a dog is pregnant and gives birth it has - puppies.

If a human being is pregnant and gives birth it has -? 

A human being of course. Each and every thing that can reproduce will reproduce and give birth to one of it's own kind. Humans and non-humans alike. That is a irrefutable scientific and biological fact.

If you look up the word person in the average dictionary I used Websters here you will find it defined as

Person  noun

And a human being at the time of conception is a distinct and living being with it's own DNA that is unique and different from any other person's DNA before or since it's creation. It has it's own blood type usually different than that of it's mother, all of it's genetic factors have already been decided from it's bone structure, hair color, eye color, it's gender, it's skin color, it's finger prints all of these things have already been established at the very moment of conception. And the new human being is a distinct and separate individual that is different from anyone else that has ever been conceived and that ever will be conceived.

Dr. Jerome Lejeune, The "Father of Modern Genetics"  Univ. of Descarte, Paris wrote: "To accept the fact that after fertilization has taken place a new human has come into being is no longer a matter of taste or opinion ... it is plain experimental evidence." 

Dr. Alfred M. Bongioanni, professor of pediatrics and obstetrics at the University of Pennsylvania, stated: “I have learned from my earliest medical education that human life begins at the time of conception…. I submit that human life is present throughout this entire sequence from conception to adulthood and that any interruption at any point throughout this time constitutes a termination of human life…. I am no more prepared to say that these early stages [of development in the womb] represent an incomplete human being than I would be to say that the child prior to the dramatic effects of puberty…is not a human being. This is human life at every stage.”

It's scientifically and biologically irrefutable that a distinct human life begins at conception. And since the unborn baby is in fact a human being and a person the baby therefore has invaluable worth and there is no argument that would constitue the killing of an innocent human life. It would be a violation of morals and the law. A human being regardless of their age, size, sex, environment, or level of dependency is not disposable and there is no argument that can constitute the taking of an innocent human life.

Now most pro-choice people will try to steer you off of the main subject with various emotional or social arguments but the main subject here is...is the unborn a human being and therefore a person? And we have already established that it is. When they try to steer you off on another part of an emotional argument like "but it's the woman's body and therefore should be her choice on what to do with it." Nicely but firmly steer them right back to the main part of the discussion don't let them steer you from the points.

The fact that an unborn child in the womb is indeed a person is vitally important and crucial. There is a reason that abortion clinics never use the word baby in a clinic because doing so would put the image and thought that what the woman is actually carrying is indeed a baby into the mother's mind and they might not go through with the abortion if they thought of it as anything but a fetus. So they always call the unborn child a fetus. This same practice is also used by pro-choice people for the same reason they don't want to admit that the being that is in the womb is actually human being and so they seek to dehumanize the child by calling it a fetus and never use the words baby, child, person, or even human being.

Technically even this argument isn't even accurate because the word fetus doesn't mean a non living thing or a clump of unviable tissue or a bunch of cells. The word fetus comes from the Latin which means offspring or little one. Which means a little human in the case of two humans reproducing. And if you look up fetus in the English dictionary (again I've used Webster's here) it is defined as a developing human from usually two months after conception to birth. So by it's very definition a fetus is a human being. 

It's irrefutable that a fetus is a human being and is so from the moment of conception. And therefore it is morally and ethically wrong to kill them.
