That's absolutely stunning!
Yet I know that throughout my own pregnancies, I never wavered
for a moment in the belief that I was carrying a human life
inside of me. I believe thats what a fetus is: a human life.
Heres the complicated reality in which we live: All life is not equal...
Yet a fetus can be a human life without having the same rights
as the woman in whose body it resides. Shes the boss. Her life
and what is right for her circumstances and her health should
automatically trump the rights of the non-autonomous entity
inside of her. Always.
I know women who have been relieved at their abortions and grieved
over their miscarriages. Why cant we agree that how they felt
about their pregnancies was vastly different, but that its
pretty silly to pretend that what was growing inside of them
wasnt the same? Fetuses arent selective like that. They dont
qualify as human life only if theyre intended to be born.
Are you human only when youre born? Only when youre viable outside
of the womb? Are you less of a human life when you look like
a tadpole than when you can suck on your thumb?
My belief that life begins at conception is mine to cling to.
And I would put the life of a mother over the life of a fetus
every single time even if I still need to acknowledge
my conviction that the fetus is indeed a life. A life worth sacrificing.
Honesty. It's a virtue, even when spoken by the Devil.

“They dont qualify as human life only if theyre intended to be born.”
Most “pro-choice” people try to walk this line. It doesn’t make any sense, of course, but the point is to avoid the guilt of being pro-MURDER.
