A local government official in Maryland is facing a barrage of attacks for introducing a resolution recognizing that unborn babies are human beings.
The Washington Examiner reports Anne Arundel County Councilman Michael Anthony Peroutka introduced the resolution on July 18 to recognize the scientific fact that unborn babies are unique, living human beings.
“RESOLUTION recognizing and declaring humanity of preborn children and urging the citizens of Anne Arundel County to encourage the humane treatment of all human beings, including the preborn children, as well as promote and defend the dignity of all human life,” it states.
Later, it continues: “Resolved, That the County Council, as Board of Health, instruct the Health Officer to submit a report annually on the available data regarding intentional terminations of pregnancies in the County; available research on the emotional, physical, and psychological impacts of these terminations on the mother; and public health efforts to reduce the incidence of these terminations …”
Peroutka’s resolution is not binding, and it states a scientific fact: Human life begins at conception.
But abortion activists are causing an uproar.
This week, Planned Parenthood, NARAL, the American Civil Liberties Union and Women Indivisible Strong Effective held a press conference to blast the proposal.

According to the report:
“As Mayor of Annapolis, I will not stand by quietly while this type of extreme and unprecedented language is passed as public policy by the Anne Arundel County Council. Instead, I will stand with women, who have the right to make their own personal healthcare choices without interference from government,” Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley said this week at a press conference hosted by Planned Parenthood of Maryland.
Maryland House Speaker Michael E. Busch announced in remarks of his own, “I am introducing an amendment to the State’s constitution during the 2019 legislative session to ensure that this does not become a legislative bargaining chip at the State or local level each year. A woman’s health decisions should be between her and her doctor,” he added.
The Maryland branch of Planned Parenthood claimed the resolution is an “attack on women” and could “threaten” their access to abortion. It urged the council to promote abortion — the killing of unborn babies from which Planned Parenthood profits hugely — instead.
The council is slated to consider the resolution Sept. 4.
Maybe they’ll want to claim it’s a monkey.
I wouldn’t advise that in this political climate.
It’s not a sea otter either.
Kathsua, they truly, truly do not believe killing babies is wrong. What they don’t want is the PUBLIC to begin to believe killing babies is wrong. Big, big difference. How do I know this? Well, let me put it this way: I was so far left that Hillary Clinton was considered Old-Fashioned by me. Took a lot (and paradoxically, a little) to get me to where I am now, and still have so far to go...
All mass murders are preceded by dehumanization of the victims.
...entitled to LIFE, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...
It is evident that the Culture of Death does not want the scientific truth of the unborn baby. They have been operation for decades on the unscientific version that the unborn baby is just a senseless mass with no humanity. The more the humanity of the baby is exposed, the louder they scream. Photos of the baby in the womb sucking its thumb is like a cross to Dracula. To deny the child in the womb is not human life is a fraud upon all humanity.
The Culture of Death hates Christianity because of its stand on the dignity of human life. Abortion replaces Christianity as the savior to the Mother Earth. Population control is the main purpose of abortion. According to Catholic teaching,
“Human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative action of God and it remains for ever in a special relationship with the Creator, who is its sole end. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning until its end: no one can under any circumstance claim for himself the right directly to destroy an innocent human being.”
And,
“Do not slay the innocent and the righteous.” The deliberate murder of an innocent person is gravely contrary to the dignity of the human being, to the golden rule, and to the holiness of the Creator. The law forbidding it is universally valid: it obliges each and everyone, always and everywhere.”
How is it that planned parenthood is any different than a Nazi death camp?
At least the Nazis recognized Jews as people, even if they thought Jews were inferior.
Don't forget, Hussein was a big fan of post-birth abortion. What would he call the babies at that point?
The raging man-hating feminazis completely deny human nature, and thus are insane, and need to be in a room with soft walls and no sharp objects.
I don’t believe an embryo that is naturaly in a Human uterus has EVER turned into anything other than a Human.
Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley and PP are science deniers, they are anti-science.
It’s odd how some little blobs of cells grow up and forget where they came from. Each of them forget their roots and the fact that at the instant of conception an egg and sperm became the one and only one of them there is. Even multiples are individuals from beginning to end, alpha to omega
Our humanity is written into our individual DNA code. Human DNA is human DNA. Human embryos are human embryos. Every human begins as a conception that grows into a little sack of cells which is the start of an individual human.
It’s the same with other animals, at their beginning they are what they are meant to be and will grow to be.
Nazi’s at least knew it was wrong. They kept it hidden for years. The abortionists instead flaunt it.
But that’s what it is, a developing human being!
