Presented as fact: There are currently 25 pregnant girls in our town's school system.The youngest is in fifth grade.
Presented as fact: Last year had the lowest abortion rate since 1990: one million,five hundred thousand.
Presented as fact: Many Pro-life citizens are Christian.They believe abortion is murder,and that the taking of an innocent unborn child is particular abhorrent.They base their belief on such Biblical references as the Old Testament's ,'Thy Shall Not Kill',and This from Jeremiah 32:31-35: And then they went out and built shrines to the god Baal in the valley of Hinnom, where they burned their children in sacrifice to the god Molech—I can hardly conceive of such evil!—turning the whole country into one huge act of sin.' And from such passages from the New Testament as Mark 10:13-16:The people brought children to Jesus, hoping he might touch them. The disciples shooed them off. But Jesus was irate and let them know it: "Don't push these children away. Don't ever get between them and me. These children are at the very center of life in the kingdom. Mark this: Unless you accept God's kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you'll never get in." Then, gathering the children up in his arms, he laid his hands of blessing on them.
The very idea of sacrificing children to the god of 'convenience' seems horrible and strange to these Christians that are taught that all human life has value.
Presented as fact: The Pro Choice movement in America is against government interference(or for very limited interference) when it comes to a woman's reproductive rights.Pro choice 'is not' pro abortion,but for reproductive choice.The pro-choice movement is about personal responsibility for one's own body.The pro-choice movement worries that any laws prohibiting choice will limit personal freedoms.Pro-choice believes that a government should have very limited involvement in personal life choice decisions.
The Pro-Choice movement believes that giving the United States government the final say on whether your mother,daughter,or sister lives or dies a prohibitively abhorrent concept.
Presented as fact:If you believe that abortion is justifiable in case of saving the mother's life,or in cases of rape and/or incest:you are pro-choice.
Presented as fact:There are many forms of legalized murder in the United states:Executions of criminals;self defense;defending your country and/or it's interests;medical legalized euthanasia[pulling the plug on terminally ill],etc.
Presented as fact:There is no definitive definition to when 'human' life begins,let alone when it is first considered murder to terminate that said life(i.e. a fertilized egg may,through a woman's natural cycle,be washed from her system.This could never be considered murder).If a women with a 20 week old fetus is murdered,the killer could be charged with a double homicide,yet the woman could still legally have an abortion.What would the outcome be if she was on the way to an abortion clinic is any body's guess.
Presented as fact:Women who've had abortions can suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.
Presented as fact:In the United States,it is believed that there are over 3,200 pregnancies a year in this country caused by rape.
Presented as fact:fetuses as young as 22 weeks can now survive outside the womb.
If you have anything to add to this list,let me know.
