What does it mean to be ProLIFE ?

1
What does it mean to be ProLIFE ?

• To be in favor of the full protection of ALL
  human life despite it age, place of residence,
  stage of development, physical condition or
  appearance. From conception to a natural death

2
What are semantics ?

• Put plainly, the changing if the meaning of words
  to blur or disguise the truth or affect the
  perception of people
• E.g. Its just a Fetus not a baby.
• The word fetus means little child in Latin this
  conveniently allows the pro-abortion person to
  avoid the B word

3
Semantics is the chief weapon used by those in
favor of abortion

• I am in favor of womens choice and not in
  favour of abortion.
• The choice is of the stronger over the weaker and
  a this is a poor choice
• Its just an embryo !
• As though the word embryo changes the reality
  that it is a human embryo and not that of a dog
  or other animal

4
More Semantics

• Its just a product of conception!
• We are all products of conception, no matter how
  old we are.
• Its just a blob of cells
• It is scientifically incorrect to say that an
  embryo is not human because of its stage of
  development. Its like saying that a toddler is
  less valuable than a child.

5
Common reasons to justify an abortion

• Its not a wanted baby!
• Not wanted does not make the child any less
  valuable. Because I do not want a hamburger but
  a chicken burger does not make hamburgers any
  less valuable.

Common reasons to justify an abortion

• The mother was raped!
• Who agrees with this statement?
• Then let me ask you some questions

7

• Is the embryo the rapist?
• Is the embryo fully human with its own DNA?
• Is that embryo made up of genes from both its
  father and its mother?
• Who agrees that if your father or mother commits
  a crime that you should go to jail for the crime
  they committed?
• Should you go to jail for a crime your father
  committed before you even existed?

Rape and abortion

• The child is always innocent
• The woman may believe that in removing the child
  she will undo the damage done to her body but
  in effect she then has to deal with the trauma of
  having killed her baby also.
• The baby is half hers and not fully his

9
Rape and abortion

• Those encouraging abortion often do so because
  they are uncomfortable dealing with rape victims,
  or perhaps out of prejudice against victims whom
  they see as being "guilty for letting it happen

10
Only study available dealing with Rape and
abortion

• "Most women who aborted did so only because they
  felt it was their only choice, and more than 80
  percent said it was a choice they deeply
  regretted
• In contrast, most (880 of the women who carried
  to term reported that they believed they had made
  the right decision in having their children.
• What is especially striking is that even though
  some women were still struggling with the pain of
  the rape, none of the respondents expressed
  regret over having given birth or a wish that
  they had chosen abortion instead. Instead, many
  saw their children as instruments of healing and
  grace in their lives."
• Dr David Reardon Victims and Victors (The
  Elliot Institute)

Common reasons to justify an abortion

• Deformity
• Using dehumanising language may change perception
  but never the fact that the child deserves
  greater love and protection
• Doctors are often wrong in diagnosis
• Society is hypocritical. We offer them special
  parking and lifts, speak tenderly about the poor
  sweet things and in the same breath we send a
  message that they are a burden

12

• Deformity
• Case study would you abort?
• The father had syphilis
• The mother tuberculosis. Of four previous
  children, the first was blind, the second died,
  the third was both deaf and dumb, the fourth
  tuberculosis.
• The mother is pregnant again, would you say
  abortion was justified here?
• Maybe? yes ?

Common reasons to justify an abortion

• It cant live on its own
• Yes that is true until about 24weeks. But neither
  can the child that is born at least until it is
  much older.
• The more dependent is the life on its mother the
  more of a duty it is for us to provide that life
  with protection and laws to safeguard it.

15
Common reasons to justify an abortion

• Its not a person
• Personhood is defined by membership in the human
  species and not by stage of development within
  that species.
• Because it may be small does not make that
  personhood less important
