Pro-choice group declares torn, bloody babies are “safe” and “better” for women
Voice of Choice sent out a tweet, arguing that abortion should remain legal, for the safety of women.
But when you take a look at the graphic photo Voice of Choice included in the tweet, it’s obvious that abortion is not at all “safe.”
That baby is 10 weeks old. Several of his organs are clearly visible, even in this bloody photo of his tiny remains. His heart was beating – ever since he was 22 days old. His brain waves were detectable ever since he was six weeks old. Baby Center, a website that explains fetal development to new parents, describes the incredible development of a 10-week-old unborn baby:
This baby is very visibly human. (Of course, our humanity attaches to us at the moment we are conceived – when we receive the DNA sequence that is unique to us and begin our lives as new individuals.) Killing innocent human beings should be a crime – and indeed, it is at almost every other stage of human life. Only unborn babies are subjected to pulverizing, suctioning, ripping, smashing, poisoning, and burning at the will of their parents and at the hand of medical professionals. In any other situation, such actions would be the height of violent, premeditated murder, complete with torture.
When else does a civilized society argue that, if a person is going to be cruelly killed anyway, we might as well make the actions of their killer as safe as possible? And when else do we define an action that ends with a bloody dead baby as “safe”?
Of course, Voice of Choice also failed to disclose that abortion rates do not stay the same when abortion is made illegal. There are no facts backing up a claim that abortion is equally prevalent, regardless of the state of the laws. I’ve previously dedicated an entire article to debunking the myth that banning abortion will not decrease abortion rates. Hop over here to read it.
In modern society, abortion is never necessary to save a mother’s life. (For the record, chemotherapy, removal of ectopic pregnancies, and other life-saving medical treatments are not abortions.) An abortion doctor, Don Sloan, admitted that abortion is a “purely elective” procedure:
So no, making a precious 10-week-old baby look like a bloody, torn mess is not “safer” for women. It’s cruel, wrong, and uncivilized. Especially when that same baby should be allowed to grow and live for the rest of his life – inside and outside the womb.
