Despite its status as the nation’s biggest abortion business, Planned Parenthood very rarely talks about abortion — and it almost never talks about the development of unborn children.
The abortion giant essentially admitted long ago that science was not on its side in the abortion debate, since basic biological facts of fetal development and the advent of 3-D and 4-D ultrasounds clearly depict a human being growing and developing in the womb before birth.

Although science makes it certain that life begins at conception or fertilization, Richards attempts to explain it away by saying it’s just not relevant to abortion.
“For you, when does life start? When does a human being become a human being?” Ramos asked during the interview.
“This is a question that I think will be debated through the centuries,” she said.
“But for you, what’s that point?” Ramos continued.
“It is not something that I feel like is really part of this conversation,” she said. “I think every woman needs to make her own decision.”
“But why would it be so controversial for you to say when you think life starts?” Ramos said.
“I don’t know that it’s controversial. I don’t know that it’s really relevant to the conversation,” the head of the abortion company said, later adding “I’m the mother of three children. For me, life began when I delivered them.”
Richards goes on to say that her own children “‘probably” been “the most important thing in my life ever since.”
“But that was my own personal, that’s my own personal decision,” she said.

Have to disagree.
A person’s life begins the moment it can be ended by another person.
Thanks Chris. Profound and succinct. That goes into my hall of fame.
What, her baby never kicked?
Did she have a baby shower? If it wasn’t a baby until it was born, what did she call it before then?
Well said.
A nine month inconvenience. After all she couldn't drink, smoke or do yoga or pilates.
Maybe she had a ‘lump of tissue’ shower.
Lady--facts which are determined through objective scientific observation and experimentation are not subject to personal interpretation. If it is raining outside, I cannot make the rain cease to exist because there is no room for rain in my personal world.
The nervous system begins to form at 3 weeks after conception. By 5 weeks, the brain has taken on its role as master controller of the body. Inherent in that role is the ability to feel and experience input from outside the body. In other words, those children your organization so gleefully kills are quite able to feel the pain of being crushed, dismembered, etc.--regardless of their mother's personal belief system.
More anti-science liberalism.
“...the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
Good graphic.
somehow the idea of anyones holding a Fetus Conceptus Shower isnt very appealing...
what sort of gifts does one bring to such an event?
Right! Ask her how often she had pre-natal care?? And the steps she took to make sure her child was delivered safely...
Well you know, I believe that this needs to be spoken about accurately.
Otherwise we lose sight of what it is we are actually doing by lying to ourselves.
Let’s just take a hypothetical example of Baby Ann who was conceived on February 28, 2014 and was aborted March 1, 2014.
Her lifespan was one day. It can be written on her tombstone.
Her life began the exact moment it was capable of being ended by someone else.
Telling ourselves that her life didn’t begin until she exits the womb is a delusion I think.
Whether or not we have to answer for ending that life legally in this world has no bearing on whether or not we have to answer for it to our Creator morally in the next.
Just because we tell ourselves we aren’t doing what we are doing doesn’t mean we are not in fact doing what we are doing.
Abortion is indeed the snuffing out of life no matter what time it is done. That is the reality of it.
So, Mary Lou decides her children's life begins at 12 months, then strangles them at 6 months because they were just ruining her life. A la Casey Anthony.
I'm not going to look it up, but it seems to me that a woman in the UK can kill her baby up to 2 years of age and suffer no prosecution if she claims post partum depression.
Terd because it has as much value.
Also, if they believe that, then no individual can be "born gay." If gestation has no significance, then patterning in the environment can be the only determination.
