Promoting the Sanctity of Human Life and the Right to Life for the Baby in the Womb

In today’s humanistic culture, individuals are tinkering with ethical boundaries in science, namely genetics, pushing research and experimentation to the limit. In 1973, the monumental court case, Roe v. Wade, altered the bioethical playing field in the United States forever. For the first time in history, a mother could kill her unborn child without any legal consequences. Years later, a sheep named Dolly was cloned in a Scottish laboratory, and scientists around the world claimed they could clone human beings next. Likewise, stem cell research is one of the pivotal debates of the twenty-first century. In-vitro fertilization poses severe ethical concerns because it often leads to the destruction of excess embryos. Infanticide, euthanasia, and suicide, while not necessarily “scientific,” are issues also facing our modern “culture of death.”

We hope to promote the sanctity of human life and the right to life for a child in its mother’s womb. This argument is steeped in Biblical scripture, given to us by God as a testament to His vision for our lives. Later, we will discuss the latest ethical issues in greater detail, providing definitions, examples, and facts about their methodologies. It is our hope that God might reveal His deep love and respect for all forms of human life.

Babies Conscious During Abortion Scientists have recently discovered that babies feel pain during abortion....... “unborn children suffer “severe and excruciating” pain because “the [baby] is conscious” during the abortion procedure.”.... “The baby shows increased heart rate, blood flow and hormone levels responding to pain during the abortion.”

There are currently several abortion techniques in use:

- Suction Aspiration is one...... In this procedure, the abortionist tears the baby into pieces and sucks the pieces it into a knife-like hollow tube.

- In Dilatation & Curettage, the abortionist “inserts a curette, a loop-shaped steel knife, up into the uterus,” and cuts the baby into pieces, causing much bleeding.

-Partial Birth Abortion or “Brain Suction” seems the most inhumane. Eighty percent of the babies aborted by this technique are healthy, viable children. In this procedure, the abortionist partially delivers the baby. Then, scissors are “jammed into the base of the skull.” Next, “a tube is inserted into the skull, and the brain is sucked out.” The baby’s skull is collapsed, and the abortionist now pulls out the dead infant.

40 million babies have been murdered in USA.....now add onto this figure the children and grandchildren they would have had....and the brothers or sisters....you take more than one life....you take a generation and all those who would have followed.....now figure what number of children God sees we have butchered.
