There’s one main reason for being against abortion, it kills an innocent human being.
This seems obvious, but when our society discusses abortion there’s so much noise around the topic this simple reason gets lost. People who advocate for abortion often accuse pro-life people of pushing their religion on others or even taking away women’s rights. With a staff majority of women here at Louisiana Right to Life, this is far from accurate.
Yes, abortion pills are being illegally shipped her from other states.
While the FDA regulates this type of abortion up to 10 weeks, the abortion industry routinely send out these pills without verifying gestational age. This has resulted in children up to 6 months from fertilization being killed by abortion pills. This is well past the point of viability, which even the majority of those who support abortion oppose. The illegal distribution of abortion pills is a rising healthcare crisis in Louisiana.

D&C abortions are preformed up to 14-15 weeks of pregnancy. By this time the unborn child’s heart has beat around 15.8 million times, brain activity is present, all major organs are formed and the child is capable of pain.

This type of abortion is illegal in Louisiana, however the abortion industry often sends women out of state for these types of surgical abortions.
D&C abortions are preformed up to 13-23 weeks of pregnancy. By this time the baby’s bones are too strong to be dismembered by suction alone, so the abortionist uses forceps to remove limbs and body parts piece by piece. The abortionist then must put the pieces of the child’s body together so he can make sure the baby was completely removed to avoid infection for the woman.

Yes, abortion looks brutal, but if you look at any surgical procedure it doesn’t look pleasant. Shouldn’t women have the option to decide for themselves?
If abortion is just a surgical procedure, if it is just the removal of tissue and no one else is impacted, then, yes, women should have that right. However if abortion is the intentional killing of an innocent human being and if another human is killed in an abortion, then we’re not talking about if women have the right to make medical designs about their own bodies, we’re talking about if women have the right to have other human beings who happen to be inside their bodies killed. For that reason it’s really important to know what the unborn is.
The scientific consensus is clear: fertilization is the start of life for a new human organism.
We know the unborn is alive because from the single cell stage of the zygote they display the characteristics of life. They metabolize food for energy, react to stimuli, and grow through cellular reproduction.
Sperm and eggs are also alive, so how is the zygote different?
Sperm and egg cells are alive, but they’re not organisms. They are parts of a larger organism, not whole organisms themselves. Organisms function for the good of the whole, with their various systems working to maintain the whole. From fertilization, the unborn have their own set of unique DNA and are developing their own systems from within. It is not the mother’s body that is building the baby, but the baby who is developing his or her own body through nutrition and proper environment supplied by the mother’s body.
The law of biogenesis states that living things reproduce after their own kind. In other words, 2 cats will never produce a zebra, it will always be another cat. Through human reproduction, the result will always be another human.
From the single cell zygote stage, the unborn is a human being.
In order for us to understand who should have human rights we need to figure out what makes someone a person. Rational people recognize personhood needs to apply to all born people, it can’t exclude people with disabilities or newborn infants. The definition of personhood also shouldn’t include animals as persons. While animals do deserve some rights they should not receive the same rights as humans.
Criteria like sentience would allow squirrels to be included as persons, while criteria like self-awareness would exclude born human infants.
The only criteria that explains why people of all different abilities, ages, races, and genders deserve equal human rights, while animals do not is our shared humanity. The unborn share this humanity.
Throughout history we’ve seen examples of what happens when we say some biological humans are not persons. Are we really so arrogant as to think treating the unborn as less than people will be view and differently than past injustices in the future?
I don’t really know where I was born or what day. What I do know is some time in 1979 my birth mother went to an abortion clinic on a migrant farm. She didn’t know how far along she was and they attempted an abortion. I was born instead… Read More
