My first question to the pro-abortion folks is, “Just what is ‘it’ that is conceived?”
Unborn baby, 7 weeks after conception
Is “it” an amphibian (since it lives in water) or perhaps a primate? I would argue that “it” is a human, and nothing else. Can any of you convince me otherwise?
Now, I know that many of you might argue that “it” is not human yet; “it” is just a potential human. True – “it” is a human with potential. So to this I say: a two-year-old child is a human with potential. A fifteen-year-old child with autism is a human with potential. A forty-year-old man is a human with potential. We are all humans with potential!
Why, then, do we single out a particular group of humans (the unborn) and pronounce that their “potential” is somehow not protected under the same laws that protect every other human in our country?
Dear Reader,
Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.
That number should break our hearts and move us to action.
Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.
Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.
Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.
Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift doubled.
Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.
The Declaration of Independence is clear: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” These unalienable rights are endowed by our creator, not by government. Creating human beings starts at the moment of conception; it is the first human experience of our lives. From that point on, we are endowed with human potential.
As a tax-paying member of society, I want to pose the next question to everyone – to both pro-life and pro-abortion advocates. “Why should my taxpayer dollars go to fund the ending of human potential against my wishes?”
Right now our government has determined that the unborn are not protected because they are just potential humans who have not yet reached their human potential. So who will be next? Who will be deemed “less than human”? Will it be the aged who are too much of a drain on our wonderful government-funded health care system? Will it be the child with autism or Down syndrome?
We seem to think that all children who are born should be perfect, that human potential can be realized only by perfect humans. What a sad world this would be without all those “imperfect” humans we meet every day. But wait a minute: we are all imperfect humans!
