Fun Fact #1: We have laws against killing birds, fish, and trees, but not babies.
Fun Fact#2: In 37 years, over 53 million legal abortions have been preformed in the United States. The combined number of military deaths from the Revolutionary War to Iraq is 1.2 million.
Fun Fact #3: In the state of Montana, a teenage girl can get an abortion without parental consent, but she needs a permission slip to take Tylenol at school.
Fun Fact #4: Female fetuses are more likely to be aborted than male.
You don't become a person when you turn 21, 18, 16, or one minute old. You become a person the moment you are. Equal rights for unborn women.
I'd like to point out that a fetus doesn't begin to develop a brain until the fifth week (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/prenatal-care/PR00112), and it takes time for it to fully develop and start emitting brain waves. A living being is not "alive" if it doesn't have brain waves (that's not the exact term but I forget the exact term right now). If a fetus is aborted within the first trimester, it is not alive, meaning you cannot kill it. Also, we do have laws against killing babies. ( http://www.ncsl.org/research/health/fetal-homicide-state-laws.aspx ) (http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/abortion/medical/infanticide_1.shtml ). There are also laws against telling a woman what sex her baby is in an attempt to limit the number of aborted female fetuses. ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/29/arizona-abortion-ban-race-sex_n_3355493.html ). Also, there have not been that many legal abortions ( http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss5212a1.htm ). If you support equal rights for unborn women, you should support equal rights for women. Everyone should be able to choose what they do with their own bodies. Laws against abortion take away a woman's right to choose what to do with her own body.
ReplyDeleteThe only abortion I support are in cases of legitimate medical self defense. If the birth of the child will result in the death of the mother or the death of both, then it is justifiable homicide in self defense.
