Myth—Abortion Doesn’t Matter

Consider now what the partial birth procedure entails. The baby is

delivered feet first. When the head is visible, the baby is stabbed with a sharp instrument in the back of the head and its brains are sucked out with a vacuum instrument. This collapses the head structure and the baby is pulled out of the uterus the rest of the way. No anesthesia is given to the baby

during this procedure, which is available to the mother up to the day before the baby is delivered naturally.

Many people do not realize that a mother can abort her baby up to the

day before it delivers naturally. Most states have laws that give the mother the right to abort the baby a full nine months. This is the right that abortion supporters are fighting for when they fight for partial birth abortion. While many people do not realize this, young teenage pregnancies often have had terrible consequences. Teenage mothers have been documented delivering

their babies in a bathroom and then simply throwing them into a trashcan. Once discovered, these young ignorant mothers are then prosecuted for murder. What they failed to understand was that it is okay to kill the baby the day before it is born. Once born, however, the same act a mere 24 hours

later or less becomes an act of murder in the eyes of the law. Yet, when society teaches a young woman it is okay to kill her baby, how is she supposed to understand it is murder if her timing is late a few hours?

After Glen died, it took Jackie and I almost three years before our daughter Paula was born. During that time, Jackie suffered miscarriages twice. These natural female body abortions will often occur spontaneously without warning. There is no guarantee that once you are pregnant that you

will in fact carry that baby to term and even that the baby will be delivered in good health. Any number of things can go awry and those who support abortion rights mistakenly believe a woman can conceive anytime she wants to and then have that baby after carrying it 9-months. Indeed, many people

are now ignorant on the sheer miracle of human life.

I have watched two good documentaries on the subjects of abortion and the miracle of human life. One was entitled Eclipse of Reason 9. This is

an abortion documentary and features a doctor who had performed many thousands of abortions. In the video, a 5-month gestated boy is aborted.
