More Medical Data Proving Abortion Is Murder of Human Beings - Pro-Life Anti-Abortion Video

Video from the public domain. The medical arguments against abortion are compelling. For example, at conception the embryo is genetically distinct from the mother. To say that the developing baby is no different from the mother's appendix is scientifically inaccurate. A developing embryo is genetically different from the mother. A developing embryo is also genetically different from the sperm and egg that created it. A human being has 46 chromosomes (sometimes 47 chromosomes). Sperm and egg have 23 chromosomes. A trained geneticist can distinguish between the DNA of an embryo and that of a sperm and egg. But that same geneticist could not distinguish between the DNA of a developing embryo and a full-grown human being. Another set of medical arguments against abortion surround the definition of life and death. If one set of criteria have been used to define death, could they also be used to define life? Death used to be defined by the cessation of heartbeat. A stopped heart was a clear sign of death. If the cessation of heartbeat could define death, could the onset of a heartbeat define life? The heart is formed by the 18th day in the womb. If heartbeat was used to define life, then nearly all abortions would be outlawed. Physicians now use a more rigorous criterion for death: brain wave activity. A flat EEG (electroencephalograph) is one of the most important criteria used to determine death. If the cessation of brain wave activity can define death, could the onset of brain wave activity define life? Individual brain waves are detected in the fetus in about 40-43 days. Using brain wave activity to define life would outlaw at least a majority of abortions. Opponents to abortion also raise the controversial issue of fetal pain. Does the fetus feel pain during abortion? The evidence seems fairly clear and consistent. Consider this statement made in a British medical journal: "Try sticking an infant with a pin and you know what happens. She opens her mouth to cry and also pulls away. Try sticking an 8-week-old human fetus in the palm of his hand. He opens his mouth and pulls his hand away. A more technical description would add that changes in heart rate and fetal movement also suggest that intrauterine manipulations are painful to the fetus." Obviously, other medical criteria could be used. For example, the developing fetus has a unique set of fingerprints as well as genetic patterns that make it unique. The development of sonography has provided us with a "window to the womb" showing us that a person is growing and developing in the mother's womb. We can discern eyes, ears, fingers, a nose, and a mouth. Our visual senses tell us this is a baby growing and maturing. This is not a piece of protoplasm; this is a baby inside the womb. The point is simple. Medical science leads to a pro-life perspective rather than a pro-choice perspective. If medical science can be used at all to draw a line, the clearest line is at the moment of conception. Medical arguments provide a strong case against abortion and for life.

If abortion is murder wouldn't that make a miscarriage suicide?

[ColibriAnna08]

@CorporateRule What? Yes, anything is justified as long as it pays someone's bills. Can you read your posts? Sex trafficing, drug cartels, and murder hits pay the bills, but that doesn't make it okay! You have the poorest logic I've ever encountered!

[halliwell2323]

That doesn't prove anything you twit.

[nolovenohate]

@calixbaby925 No she does not, since that baby had nothing to do with the fact his father was a rapist, She does not have the right to abort the pregnancy by killing the developing human being because that child does not bear the sin of his father, Where is mankind now adays? have we all gone astray from the belief in god...

It seems to me that a lot of people don't walk their talk. If distinct genes, or the formation of a heart, or brain wave activity, or pain (as stated in the description), are criterias for whether something is alive, and should have protection from having that life taken away (i.e. murder), then it follows by logical necessity that certain meat plants, where animals are tortured on a daily basis to produce various foods, are morally comparable to the Holocaust. Inconsistent much?

[Pomme843]

@toddlamp It would make it infanticide, making the mother a murderer.

[MRbossman1982]

Abortion is murder . the baby in a womans belly is a living, breathing human being, and stopping the babies life is 100% wrong and murder.

[Luvmebabi30]

@toddlamp no idiot only unless someone miscarriaged on purpose, and that is usually almost never the case. Miscarriage is death

[SunkenFilms]

Abortion IS killing. Throwing someone to their untimely death from a rooftop is killing. Shooting someone by accident on a hunting trip is killing. Pounding a cats head open with a hammer is killing, smacking a bug is killing, and disinfecting germs is killing. Through all that... there was only ONE murder scenario, only 1 Sentient self aware conscious life-form scenario where a PERSON was murdered. Some of those may be personally considered bad, but only 1 was murder. try and see

[crogsvien]

suicide is murder and it is a crime, check your facts before you say something

its the only crime you can get away with, so to speak.

Miscarriage happens, 1 out of 5 pregnancies that would be a huge suicide rate

[calixbaby925]

If a sixteen year old girl is raped by someone, and becomes pregnant, i think she should have the right to abort that pregnancy. Its not what you do sometimes, its why you do it.
