I need to stay away from this thread. haha, oh well. Credit
[it has some really really good points]

"The unborn is an embryo or a fetus-just a simple blob of tissue, a product of conception-not a baby. Abortion is terminating a pregnancy, not killing a child."

3a. Like toddler and adolescent, the terms embryo and fetus do not refer to nonhumans, but to humans at particular stages of development.
3b. Semantics affect perceptions, but they do not change realities; a baby is a baby no matter what we call her.
3c. From the moment of conception, the unborn is not simple but very complex.
3d. Prior to the first trimester, the unborn already has every body part she will ever have.
3e. Every abortion stops a beating heart and terminates measurable brain waves.
3f. Even in the earliest surgical abortions, the unborn child is clearly human in appearance.
3g. Even before the unborn is obviously human in appearance, she is what she is-a human being.
3h. No matter how much better it sounds, "terminating a pregnancy" is still terminating a life.


17. "'Every child a wanted child.' It's unfair to children to bring them into a world where they're not wanted."

17a. Every child is wanted by someone-there is no such thing as an unwanted child.
17b. There is a difference between an unwanted pregnancy and an unwanted child.
17c. "Unwanted" describes not a condition of the child but an attitude of adults.
17d. The problem of unwantedness is a good argument for wanting children, but a poor argument for eliminating them.
17e. What is most unfair to "unwanted" children is to kill them

(and IMO if it was the case of being unwanted... there are SO many families that would LOVE do adopt, and give the child a good home because they cannot conceive)

That is all.
