A cruel pair of forceps grab the legs, pulling them out into the canal. A brutal pair of hands delivers the fetus’ entire body, except for the head. From there the abortionist proceeds to jam scissors into the fetus’ skull, and those same scissors are then opened to enlarge the skull. Lastly, a suction catheter is inserted to suck the fetus’ brain, destroying every possibility of the delicate fetus ever having his/her first thought, memory, and opinion of their own. That mother isn’t merely ordering the removal of a fetus from inside her body—she is ordering the execution of her baby from life.
Approximately 3,000 Americans lost their lives as a result of the destruction of the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11. Every day, more than 3,000 American babies are killed from abortion, making us almost terrorist ourselves—since both deaths happen to be conscious murders. “Abortion is murder, sugar-coated,” said junior Anais Hernandez.
Arguing that as women we have the right to a choice as a selfish justification, many ignore the crude reality—abortionists are murderers hungry for money. Planned Parenthood, a non-profit organization that provides reproductive healthcare services, has 30 executives that make more than $200,000 a year; a few of them make more than $300,000 a year. Money is one of the leading motivations for the exhortation and execution of abortion.
“I find it impossible to subscribe to a philosophy that believes that the destruction of human life is a legitimate solution to a problem that is mostly social, economic, and psychological,” said American actress and producer Patricia Heaton in an interview with Steven Ertelt from LifeNews.com. “In reality, most women ‘choose’ abortion because they believe they have no other choice.”
While some women struggle to become pregnant due to fertility problems, other women attempt to abort their already-alive baby. There are other choices.
Pro-life advocate and current Florida governor Rick Scott signed a bill Jul. 1, 2014, redefining the state’s former third trimester abortion ban. Under the law, abortions are illegal in Florida after 24 weeks or at any point in a woman’s pregnancy if her doctor determines that the fetus could survive outside the womb. With such restrictions, we will most likely see an increase in births in the state of Florida, hopefully softening a mother’s heart when witnessing her baby outside her womb, being able to feel her child’s heartbeat.
Our self-seeking, prideful thoughts can go far, guiding us into believing that we have the absurd right to take one’s life. Whether the government decides to give us the right to abortion or not, , the convictions of our values should be enough to make us realize how inhumane the act is.
