How many points do you agree with? How many do you disagree with?
1. Pro-Abortion Claim: The government should stay out of people’s private lives. This is a woman’s choice, not anyone else’s, and a women’s rights issue.
Why It’s Wrong: Laws often restrict an individual’s rights, including the right to hurt another person or infringe upon another’s rights. In taking the life of an unborn child, a woman is taking away the most basic of all rights of another. An unborn child is not part of a woman’s body, but a separate, individual human being with his or her own rights. A child is not the mother’s property, just as parents are legal guardians of children but not the children’s owners and are not allowed to abuse their children.
2. Pro-Abortion Claim: When most abortions take place, in early pregnancy, a fertilized egg is just a mass of cells, not a human being. It doesn’t feel pain.
Why It’s Wrong: A new life begins at conception and should not be destroyed by human interference.
First, one-third of abortions take place after nine weeks of pregnancy. Yet from the moment of conception, the zygote has its own unique DNA structure, is alive and growing, and is equipped to become a mature human being. Six weeks after conception, the unborn child’s heartbeat is detectable — but began beating before then. At week three, neural development begins. At week four, the eye, ear, and respiratory systems begin to form. At week six, the mouth and lips are present. At week seven, the embryo looks like a baby. The beginning of life could be defined by many different points of development — fertilization (the fusion of the nuclei of the sperm and egg cell), implantation, the first movement, heartbeat, or brain waves, consciousness, or birth. Any point you choose could be just a day’s difference between life and death for an unborn child. Drawing the line at the point of viability is also problematic — that point will continue to get earlier in the pregnancy as medical advances create better means of keeping the unborn alive outside the womb; indeed, viability is now weeks earlier than it was when Roe was decided. Yet the unborn child did not become a person because he could survive due to modern science. Newborns are not technically viable either, as they cannot survive on their own. By this logic, we should consider it acceptable to kill newborns. Nor does the absence of pain at early stages make it moral to kill the unborn child, just as it would not with an adult. Abortion can involve sucking a baby out of the uterus (or as Planned Parenthood puts it, “the suction machine is turned on and the uterus is gently emptied”), causing a stillbirth by injecting a salt solution into the uterus, and other horrors.
3. Pro-Abortion Claim: Abortion can’t be a crime against nature if fertilized eggs are spontaneously miscarried in nature.
Why It’s Wrong: The occurrence of an event in nature does not justify deliberately mimicking that event. The elderly die of natural causes, but that doesn’t make it right to kill them. And many miscarriages are associated with extra or missing chromosomes.
4. Abortion Claim: Birth control isn’t 100 percent effective. When it fails, women have been responsible and need abortion as another method to avoid having a child.
Why It’s Wrong: Seven percent of women report having sex without using some form of birth prevention in the past three months, not including 8% who have such sex but are seeking pregnancy or already pregnant. Many people who use birth control do not do so effectively. The pregnancy prevention rate of birth-control pills used consistently and correctly is 99 percent. For that small portion who correctly used birth control but it did not prevent conception, they have to accept the risks of sexual activity, which include a child. Contraception is free with most health insurance plans and easily available.
5. Pro-Abortion Claim: In the case of rape or incest, when a woman was an innocent victim of an involuntary act, she should not be forced to carry a child. She would be forced to suffer even more.
Why It’s Wrong: 1% of women say they want an abortion because they were raped, and less than 0.5% say they are pregnant as a result of incest. Even in such very rare cases, an unborn child should not be killed because of another person’s evil deed. The pregnant woman needs love and support, not more trauma. An estimated 800,000 abortions take place in the United States each year. Common reasons given for seeking an abortion are that a child would disrupt the mother’s education (38%), interfere with job or career (38%), or be unaffordable (73%). About half of respondents said they didn’t want to be a single mom or were having relationship problems. About 33% said they didn’t want any more kids; 25% said they didn’t want people to know they had sex or got pregnant; 32% said they weren’t ready for a child; and 22% didn’t feel mature enough to raise children. More than half of those seeking abortion have had at least one previous birth.
6. Pro-Abortion Claim: Minors are too young for the responsibilities of parenthood.
Why It’s Wrong: About 3 percent of females who get abortions are younger than 18, and 8% are 18 to 19 years old. Parents of minors should teach their children about the consequences of sex, the benefits of abstinence, and the limitations of contraception, among other things: Sex can lead to pregnancy and if it does the unborn child should not be killed. Accepting truths that you don’t like is part of maturity, and sex should be reserved for mature people ready to care for a child.
7. Pro-Abortion Claim: If abortion were made legal only in cases of rape or incest, women would lie.
Why It’s Wrong: The court system could settle the truth of their claims and more reporting of rape and incest would help bring perpetrators to justice.
Pro-Abortion Claim: Abortion is safer than continuing a pregnancy to term.
Why It’s Wrong: Even if abortion is safer than pregnancy, that doesn’t make it right. But with modern medicine, the death risks for both abortion and pregnancy are very low.
8. Pro-Abortion Claim: It would be better for abnormal fetuses to be aborted than to live with poor health or a disability.
Why It’s Wrong: In the case of the small minority of fetuses with a potentially life-threatening abnormality, a natural death may result, but, if not, the child should be given the benefit of the doubt, not be killed. It’s wrong to kill disabled people for their disabilities.
9. Pro-Abortion Claim: If abortion were outlawed, women would just get riskier, dangerous abortions.
Why It’s Wrong: People break other laws with repercussions too, but we don’t avoid that outcome by not making those laws. Outlawing abortion would save millions of unborn babies’ lives. It is difficult to know the number of abortions resulting in death before abortion was legalized, because many illegal abortions went unreported. Education is the best alternative, so women know the risks of trying to get an abortion illegally, how to effectively use birth control, and how they can receive assistance as mothers.
10. Pro-Abortion Claim: The right to an abortion has led to a more prosperous society as women have continued in their careers and low-income couples have not been burdened with an additional expense. Abortion has reduced the child abuse and crime that arise from unwanted children.
Why It’s Wrong: Abortion has been bad for our society, as it devalues human life and the fulfillment that only family and children, not a job, can provide. If women want to put careers first or can’t afford children, they should practice abstinence or correctly use birth control and make plans for accepting the consequences if that fails. If women are poor and do have children, the government provides assistance. Adoption is also a better option than killing an unborn child. Many loving, screened, financially stable parents are waiting to adopt babies. As for whether studies prove that abortion has reduced crime or abuse, this is a dangerous line of argument. Should we abort babies of certain groups more likely to be criminals?
11. Pro-Abortion Claim: A woman has a right to privacy, as recognized by the Supreme Court, and to make her own decisions about her life and happiness.
Why It’s Wrong: Roe v. Wade was so strongly resisted because it was a deeply flawed decision. The legal arguments are lengthy, but the short answer is that the constitutional right to liberty simply does not grant the right to kill another person, and an unborn child is a person.
Overturning Roe will not end abortion rights but return the issue to the states, allowing for a more democratic process — the debate will continue, but the truth remains the same.

"Science decrees that it is not alive," while Truth and Wisdom speak that it is a living entity because it carries the substance of life. It has never been proven that eggs are dead and cannot be proven to be 'not' alive, as nothing goes from death to life without Spiritual intervention by the Lord. There are many examples of NDE, or Near Death Experiences available on YouTube, of someone dying and being brought back to life by Jesus Christ.These happenings are a meeting with Jesus in order to help set that person onto a new path of Truth and Revelation.
But eggs are not dead. They are the very substance of life, just as God formed man from the dust of the earth, covered him with a mist and then breathed the breath of life into him. His breath of life is in those eggs, as we are made in His image and likeness.
The problem of abortion is a cultural problem that lifts self over God and over the spirit of Life. Roe #1 was a mis-construction of privacy that never did exist. False premises.
So, here is my question—
Does the same God who created Mankind, think it is ok—that as Christians feeblemindedly say, "Roe was overturned, Yay!"—does that SAME GOD think it is ok to switcheroo the issue to borders instead of Life? Is HE ok with abortion being ok in CA as long as it's not ok in OK.? Is HE good with that? It is a humanistic world view, that places man as God and the sooner we realize that, the better, because abortion, along with taking out the 10 Commandments and the Pledge of Allegience, these have all been curses upon our land of the formerly free and formerly brave.
WE GAVE WAY and look where we are. Transgenders, DEI, WOKE, rainbows, trafficking. It all came from the same place spiritually. Replacing God with man. Courts acting as agents of satan from hell, hissing and spitting upon God. And we said, OK. And continuing. Bob Dylan was so right, 'Ya gotta serve somebody."
"Choose Ye—this day—whom you will serve. Seek wisdom first, Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." Prov.4:7
Wisdom is not from man. Revelation is not from man. Wisdom was with HIM, at His right hand, from the beginning. Want a righteous nation back? Get your world view in order and in submission. And pray like your life depends on it.
