It's as simple as life...

This is true horror.

AN ABORTED baby survived for 80 minutes while hospital staff waited for it to die, a coroner's court in Darwin, Australia, was told yesterday.

The baby was unexpectedly born alive after birth was induced between 21 and 22 weeks of gestation. Greg Cavanagh, the coroner, said that there was a "responsibility vacuum

fetuses are not babies.

they do not have rights.

they are parts of the mothers body, and the mother has the right to terminate their existence.

if you are offended by this post, i don't care. :)

At the moment of conception, all the elements that make a human being are present. 23 chromosomes from the mother, and 23 chromosomes from the father.. thus, creating a new, unique human being. For a seed to grow, there must be life. For a 'fetus' to grow, it must be a human being. If it isn't human, why is it growing? It is living and feeling! <3

the same holds true for the moment after death. it takes more than elements.

> creating a new, unique human being.

circular argument.

> For a seed to grow, there must be life.

by that token, all parts of my body are separate living things from me. my legs grew, my skeleton lengthened.

> For a 'fetus' to grow, it must be a human being.

untrue. it is a part of the mother's body developing *into* a human being.

> If it isn't human, why is it growing?

it is not growing. the mother's body is growing it.

> It is living

circular argument.

> and feeling!

highly unlikely except possibly toward the end.

incidentally, if abortion WERE so terrible, why do something like 50% of all conceptions not end in live births? can't be so bad if god is practicing it constantly.

All in all, there is no essential difference between an unborn entity and a newborn baby. A baby's heart begins beating within 18 and 24 days. In addition, all living things have nerve endings, and through these they can feel pain. The aborted 'fetus' can feel pain throughout the abortion, thus making it living and growing, and capable of feeling.

i love you for doing that.. for showing that.. people need to see it.. but oddly enough.. i am pro choice. i would NEVER EVER EVER!! do that or ever influenece someone else to do it, but i don't control the others that feel they need to do it; its their choice i guess.
i agree with you .. it is a living human

I was completely prochoice, but I'm starting to change my mind about it... That's horrible.
