“i think most people won’t deny d [the] fact that “abortion”, is in its most fundamental form, d [the] taking of another person’s life (some of us will beg to differ) .. yet nobody can say for sure, if d [the] legalising of this “murder” is ultimately right or wrong… ….”

Lennart Nilsson, who is known for his photographs of unborn babies and his book A Child Is Born, in “Drama of Life before Birth” he says that the unborn baby at 45 days after conception:
“Though the embryo now weighs only 1/30 of an ounce, it has all the internal organs of the adult in various stages of development. It already has a little mouth with lips, an early tongue and buds for 20 milk teeth. It’s [sic] sex and reproductive organs have begun to sprout.”

“The procedures for mid-trimester termination was either saline or prostaglandin injected [into the woman’s womb] to induce labor. The woman actually delivered (or aborted) on the ward, either in bed or in a bedpan. The nurse was left with all the difficult work- you could, actually say all the “dirty” work….[T]he nurse had to weigh the fetus, the nurse had to place the fetus in a bag and transport it to the mortuary, the nurse had to answer patients’ questions, sometimes distressing, about the size, appearance, sex, disposal of the fetus and whether it was still alive. The nurse had to deal with distressed patients and relatives….”

Share on FacebookOne study showed that:
One of the most common reasons why abortionists either refuse to perform an abortion or refer the patient elsewhere is her lack of money (the other is age)
“Obstetricians were least likely to become involved in the care of women described as having “no money” or “on Medicaid.”

This shows that money is a big factor in determining who will have abortions and who will not – abortion clinics do not do abortions for free. Abortion is a business. Like any other business, abortion clinics’ goal is to make money.
Share on FacebookIn China, women are pressured, and in some cases forced, to abort if they already have one child. Abortion is extremely common and widely accepted. Here are 2 quotes from Chinese women about abortion:
“It’s a rather common occurrence, [like eating] an ordinary kind of food. There’s nothing worth talking about.”
And
It’s a very natural thing, like eating and drinking. It’s not against the law. And it’s quite safe to have [an abortion.”]
Few talk about the one child policy partly due to the fact that you can’t legally criticize the government in China and their one child policy. However, the results of the survey in 1997 done by Nie Jing-Bao gathered the following quotes:
“People have no choice [if they already have a child]; but most women want the babies.”
“Because people want more than one child, the government forces them to have abortions.”
“The family planning program forces people to have abortions. Some are voluntary, but most people have to [have an abortion]. Rural people hope to have more children. Most people in cities accept the family planning policy. Although some want to have more children, they may lose their job if they actually do so.”
In a study, 18 overseas students and scholars who had either just arrived in the United States or who had left China several years before were asked to list the reasons why women had abortions in China.
The number one response was “the requirements of the national family planning policy.”

While from a Christian perspective this may be true, it becomes an excuse for the pregnant women to do something that she knows is wrong. Unplanned pregnancies and abortions happen even within evangelical churches – in fact, according to one study, one out of 5 women who have an abortion are an evangelical Christian, and a large percentage of women having abortions are Catholics.
An abortionist describes how he aborts a baby
“I’ll pull and twist and everything will come out. And probably two or three times, I’ll have to pull and the head will get stuck against the cervix. So I’ll have to use my ring forceps and crush the skull.”
Dr. William Fitzhugh, abortionist, in sworn testimony in Carhart vs. Ashcroft, Lincoln, NE, March 30, 2004.
