My Body, My Choice

Many leftist extremists condemn conservatives as hypocrites for wanting to help rescue women from the Taliban in Afghanistan. They say that conservatives in America are the “American Taliban” because they are pro-life. They say that pro-life is against women’s rights. They say that conservatives don’t care about the “fetus”; they only want to subjugate women. Etc., etc…

It’s my opinion that pro-abortion leftists seem more concerned with protecting a woman’s right to kill (her unborn child) than they are about protecting a woman’s right not to be killed.

It seems obvious that it’s much more noble to be more concerned with protecting a woman’s right to not be killed. It’s much more honorable to be more concerned with a woman’s right to be treated equally and with respect.

As far as I know, not many laws say that a person has a right to terminate the life of another person unless, of course, it’s a misguided law supporting abortion.

Laws supporting abortion are based upon the premise that an unborn human is not a “person.” They say that an unborn human child is not yet a person because the unborn child is not “viable” outside the womb.

The following is an excerpt from a scientific article titled: Personhood status of the human zygote, embryo, fetus. *

“In light of the biological evidence and philosophical arguments discussed herein, it is most reasonable to support the notion that personhood status is present at the point of human fertilization.”

Since leftist progressives claim to love and respect science, here’s another excerpt from the article referenced above that scientifically supports the personhood of an unborn child just after fertilization:

“Egli et al. (2011) show that the zygote genome is crucial for prenatal development and that this is unique to humans versus another mammalian species. The study also suggests that the developmental potential of the human zygote genome is unique in some respects from that of the murine zygote genome. Furthermore, the uniqueness of the human from the murine zygote genome likely extends to other mammalian species and other human cell types in its totipotent and pluripotent properties for early human development. There are features of the zygotic DNA that are unique to the development of a human organism.

While some believe that humans are distinct from other animals due to attributes of self-reflection, cognitive sapient awareness and advanced reasoning, there are also fundamental distinctions in the biology of humans that stem from initial development at the one-cell stage. One could thus propose that certain features appearing in embryogenesis and fetal progression that are uniquely human (i.e., cognitive sapient awareness) are uniquely reliant on human zygote DNA (and its division and subsequent development). This argues strongly that the human being at the one-cell stage already possesses the status for personhood.”

In light of the obvious, along with the conclusions from the scientific article, let’s review what the U.S. Constitution has to say about the rights of a person:

The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution affirms (in part): “No State shall … deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

Shouldn’t the 14th Amendment apply to a person who is alive in the womb? Doesn’t the 14th Amendment’s right to life—and the right to privacy in the Due Process Clause—apply to a person of any age?

It is not a woman’s right to be a baby murderer!

We typically define life to mean brain activity. A heart cannot beat on its own without brain activity.

Most people are in the middle, and it is my hope that the political types on the left and right that have nothing better to do than to laser-focus on peoples coochies, will get voted out of office.

It’s disturbing when people acknowledge that a human life is developing (that it is not ‘just a clump of cells’) and STILL vigorously fight for the right to kill it.

Lately I’m reading comments online from those comparing my Texas legislature to the Taliban. That we somehow don’t value women. That we are religious extremists effectively stuffing women into burqas and treating them like cattle... the disconnect to reality is stunning.

The choice issue here is doing something evil or not.

2019 words of VA Gov. Northup:
Gov. Ralph Northam (D) took it a step further by advocating for abortion after delivery.

“…If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother. So I think this was really blown out of proportion,” Northam said during a radio interview.

Big brains like Biden are shuffling their definitions of life beginning for a developing baby. Now apparently life begins when the baby is old enough to register and vote Dem.

Latest genuine finding is that the human zygote at conception has within it all the dna material to be used for the full life cycle of the human being. Not a development only months later as was the theory in decades past.

All women have an individual, absolute right to the sanctity of their own vehicles. If the women does not want a person that is within that vessel, even if their occupancy is due to their own choices, then they have an absolute right to employ medically effective procedures to terminate the presence of that unwanted person /parody off.

Most of which terminations are due to having a child interfering with a woman’s education, work or ability to care for dependents (74%), sparing the parents from the sacrifice parents like mine made, thank God.

Each Justice of the Supreme Court supporting abortion on demand have essentially signed a death warrant for millions of innocent children, and which too often also results in the mother engaging in suicidal actions.

Laws supporting abortion are based upon the premise that an unborn human is not a “person.” They say that an unborn human child is not yet a person because the unborn child is not “viable” outside the womb.

The viability argument has proven to be the slippery slope into abortion throughout all nine months for any reason. Roe vs. Wade was decided based upon a lie that Jane Roe was raped - she wasn't as Norma Corvey admitted. Most people back then were willing to excuse abortion when the pregnancy was a result of rape or incest or the woman's life was endangered by continuing the pregnancy. But by having a rape/incest exception, they essentially took the attention away from the developing child and its right to life and focused instead on the condition of how the pregnancy happened. It wasn't long before a companion case - Doe vs. Bolton - basically made abortion legal throughout the entire nine months and for any reason. Viability was the proverbial camel's nose in the tent. As neonatal care is expanded, premature babies are surviving earlier and earlier. Now a premie born at 21 weeks can survive (if the mother wants it) but in the abortion clinic down the street babies of the same gestational age can be butchered and their body parts sold off.

The so-called "right to privacy" has been allowed to supersede the child's right to life solely because of the child's temporary place of residence - within the mother's womb. ALL life has now been cheapened and it's no wonder violent crime has skyrocketed as has child abuse and domestic violence. Until respect and protection of the most vulnerable among us becomes a priority again, human life at all stages will continue to suffer.

    Abortion won't have to be made illegal when it becomes unthinkable.
