I agree that science has known when a separate and unique life begins for quite some time. I do think that this information needs to be publicized and sent around. I am not sure that the average person has come to grips with the fact that abortion ends a human life. This type of information needs to be summarized and inserted in church bulletins. It needs to be repeated until people get it.People have known for a long time when a new human being begins. Even those who are pro-abortion. It just doesn’t matter to them. They would rather protect sexual rights than human life.
That’s true. Actually, if one were to legislate in accordance with polling data which asks, “what reasons for abortion are acceptable?” and “how late in gestation is abortion acceptable?” one would find that most people would disallow most of the abortions currently being performed.This is an excellent and well-presented argument.
However, pro-lifers are up against a “don’t confuse me with facts, my mind is made up” kind of mentality. That, and the sad reality that people tend to justify actions simply because they are so self-centered that whatever they “want” must be OK, and denying them their wants must be “cruel” and “repressive” and a result of “pushing our morality on them”.
However, we can take solace in the fact that fewer and fewer people are falling for pro-abortion arguments, as evidenced by recent, reliable polling data that shows a clear shift towards a more pro-life mentality. That scares the heck out of the other side, so I imagine we will see some pretty desperate measures.
