FDA unleashes new threat to human babies
"In the midst of a terror campaign and a frightening battle against anthrax, the FDA has somehow been able to find the time to sanction yet another form of baby killing," said Judie Brown, president of American Life League. "The newly-approved birth control patch uses the same abortion-causing chemicals used in many other so-called contraceptives."
With its approval of the birth control patch, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has now approved its fourth new "contraceptive" option in the last year. The skin patch has been added to a collection that already includes a monthly injection, a hormone-emitting IUD, and a hormone-emitting contraceptive ring.
"All these devices deliver the same hormones to the woman's body and all work in the same manner," said Mrs. Brown. "They all affect the uterine lining and prevent implantation of a newly-conceived human being, thus causing the end of that human being's life."
"The FDA should be ashamed of itself," said Mrs. Brown. "All Americans should reject this new form of baby killing and seek to protect all innocent human life, from fertilization to natural death."

Well for Pete's sake.....why should ANYTHING or ANYONE have to die???????????
I think I'll go away for the night. We STILL haven't started the packing. Sheesh. And work comes real early. TTYL!!!!
Your logic will not influence me. Babies are not dieing. Prehuman fetuses are.
This is my belief. Why? Because it is. Period. End of story.
pcl, please, just think on this one overnight. Please. NOW I'm outta here.
Maybe. I think. I hope.
I didn't know, and many others don't know. If you'd read the article I posted above, the pro-life pastor who wrote it didn't even know, for a while.
"Wait. I know. You are going to sue on behalf of the Free Choicers who used the drug. Just like you would like to over turn ROE vs Wade on their behalf."
I would like Roe v. Wade overturned on behalf of the babies marked for death. And I don't have much chance of getting it overturned. The "Roe" plaintiff in Roe v. Wade (Norma McCorvey) and the "Doe" in Doe v. Bolton (Sandra Cano) are working on it now. Operation Outcry
Frankly, if abortion mills weren't granted special dispensations by politicians, they'd all be out of business, simply by enforcing existing laws against fraud. Life Dynamics, Inc.
(He hasn't started packing yet.....) I'D join in on this lawsuit! I was pro-life BEFORE I was a Christian. Abortion was never an option for me, something deep within me told me it was wrong, but not knowing any better I took those pills. Yeah, I did. I didn't know squat at that time, as most of us didn't.
Call up Life Dynamics at 1-800-800-LIFE and order a copy of "Lime 5" -- it's only $2.00 now plus S&H. You'll also get a free copy of the booklet "Access: The Key to Pro-Life Victory" ($0.80 for each additional). If they had a PayPal-ish payment scheme, I'd buy a copy for you. All the laws and court decisions don't mean a thing if there are no abortionists willing to commit abortions. There are perfectly legal ways of putting them out of business, like Brian Finkel's finally being arrested for his long train of rapes against women having abortions. They're all scum.
Mark Crutcher's a realist, and he deserves more support.
Good point.
That is what we are fighting for.
The victims have all been murdered before they have a voice.
How brave.
Like someone else said, why don't the abortionist pick on someone their own size.
It is cowardly to kill these pre-born children just as it is cowardly to support the killers.
LOL
You got that right!
Logic doesn't influence you one bit.
Just as a beating heart in a 10 day old fetus (read living child) doesn't.
Or a tiny little perfectly formed foot on a 10 week old pre-born child.
BTW the way, you say that I make you mad. Well, you put it a different way.
Well try to understand this: I love you. Otherwise I wouldn't be wasting my time on you.
Peace to children, not children in pieces.
I answered the question early in this thread. Since I posted that answer I have been forced by you and others to carfully think about the question. The answer I am about to give is one that I have arrived at after much thinking and research. I derived this moment from scriptures, science and law. It is very explicit and it is now part of my beliefs. No. I will not discuss my rational for arriving at this decision on this board. I may discuss it with some people face-to-face. You do not have to like it. Just accept that it is what I believe (if you wish).
A fetus becomes a human when it draws its first breath.
A human remains a human until he breaths his last breath
Before the first breath, the fetus is only a potential human. After the last breath, the body is that of something that was human but it is no longer humman. The state of being human corresponds to the presence or absence of a soul.
More theological and philosophical nonsense.
That's odd there, how you can turn a non-human appendix into a human appendix just by having a non-human lung receive its first blast of non-amniotic oxygen. Is there something special about oxygen in the air that's different than the oxygen received in amniotic fluid or the umbilical cord? Do we need to revise our Periodic Table of Elements to account for this hitherto unknown non-oxygen oxygen?
If the non-human lungs receive the first breath of atmospheric air, how do the human lungs transfer the oxygen to non-human arteries to be distributed to non-human tissues in non-human blood cells? Do those non-human cells interact at some level that no one has ever known about? Do they say, "Here's some oxygen. Oh, by the way, you're human now. Pass it on."
Talk about outdated [im]morality....
You can try to subvert what I believe. It will have not effct upon me. Some others will probably enjoy your analysis and mind twisting of my beliefs so have it. Just know that you are really talking to them and not me.
I see you do not believe what I believe.
I do not believe the bible is word of god like some people, but I do believe it has some value in investigating moral issues. Having made that equivocation I will now present some biblical foundation.
(Gen 2:7)And the Lord formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" Man becomes a living soul when he breathes the breath of life. Simple, is it not?
The Hebrews showed a strong proclivity towards this idea also. The Hebrew word for human being or living person is nephesh, which is also the word for "breathing." Nephesh occurs hundreds of times in the Bible as the identifying factor in human life. Life is breathing. Simple is it not?
How about science? Well, a group of 167 scientists and physicians told the Supreme Court in 1989 that "the most important determinant of viability is lung development," and that viability is not achieved significantly earlier than at twenty-four weeks of gestation because critical organs, "particularly the lungs and kidneys, do not mature before that time." While this does not directly address the issue of the breath of life, it does tell us that a fetus of less than 24 weeks will not be able to breath. If it can not breath then if can not obtain a soul and partake in human life.
Now, let's look at the law. Neither Anglo-Saxon law nor the U.S. Constitution has ever given a fetus the same legal status as a woman. Until a baby is born there is only a potential person. When abortion was illegal, it was reviewed as a felony rather than a homicide.New York in its homicide statute defines a "person when referring to the victim of a homicide (as) a human being who has been born and is alive." (N.Y. Rev. Penal Law 125.05] The U.S. Constitution in the 14th Amendment makes birth a prerequisite to citizenship.
So, there are some of the elements that have established my belief that life begins and ends with breathing air into the lungs. None of this stuff will have any effect upon anyone but me. The material given is not part of my belief system, it is just some stuff that got me to this point. It is sort of like a ladder. Once you have climbed the ladder, you do not need again if you never intend to come down. To put it in plain English, invalidating one or all of these idea will not change what is now my belief.
(Do I sound pedantic?)
Man becomes a living soul when he breathes the breath of life. Simple, is it not?
Yes when God created Adam until he breathed into him he was not exchanging oxygen through his system.
As you see from a previous reply, the child starts this process soon after conception.
Therefore we can conclude that you believe life starts soon after conception.
Because man becomes a living soul at that time.
Your words are the best arguement against your belief sometimes.
That makes it easier.
:>)
You have just justified Partial Birth Abortion.
I thought I read earlier you thought abortion shouldn't be preformed after the first trimester.
Right?
