#unborn rights

I must protect those who cannot protect themselves.

Quick Pro-Life Responses

Keep in mind: the fundamental disagreement between pro-life and pro-choice is on whether a fetus is being formed into a person, or if the fetus is already a person and is simply developing.

Confidently assert, “you say that because you think a fetus is not a person yet.”

They may concede fetuses are people in word, but still not conceptualize them as full people worthy of equal consideration.

“I have the right to bodily autonomy.”

Abortion is literally suffocation, poisoning, or dismemberment of a living human organism.

Abortion induces fetal demise by depriving a human of oxygen, blood, or vital function.

Bodily autonomy does not justify abuse of power and excessive force over a helpless person.

Abortion, a disproportionately brutal response to a passive threat, is aggressive violence.

“No one has the right to use my body.”

Correct. But, a prenatal person does not use a pregnant person’s body. They have no agency.

A pregnant person’s body takes care of the prenate. This care is ordinary and healthy.

Abortion is not like refusing care to a dying person, it is like murdering a healthy captive.

No one has the right to murder someone who they caused to be dependent on them.

“I have the right to revoke my consent.”

When you give consent, you agree to accept the foreseeable outcomes and risks of an action.

The creation of a bodily dependent is a foreseeable outcome of consensual intercourse.

You cannot revoke consent to outcomes. You can revoke consent to actions.

You may not violently sacrifice a helpless person to “mitigate” a risk of a consensual action.

“Anything dependent on my body is a parasite.”

If you make parasites, then you’re a parasite; it’s misogynist to suggest women are parasites.

The female body would not actively try to make pregnancy happen if it were parasitic.

Prenates never directly cause pregnant people harm; they are not aggressors or parasites.

Using developmental dependency to justify murder is simultaneously ageist and ableist.

“An embryo is just a clump of cells.”

Human embryos meet NASA’s criteria for the characteristics of distinct living organisms.

Human embryos are self-directed and their development follows a body plan.

Human embryos are organized and individual. They already have inherited capacities.

Tumors and gametes do not follow an organized body plan.

“Early humans have no cognitive capacities.”

By week 3, the embryo has a spine and is developing a nervous system.

By week 5, the embryo has a rudimentary brain that controls their pulse.

By week 8, the embryo has pain reflexes and can move their limbs.

It’s incredibly ableist to use the cognitive inabilities of a human being to justify their murder.

“If a fetus is a person, so is a brain-dead human.”

A brain-dead human is, obviously, dead. It’s an oxygenated corpse, the remains of a person.

Death occurs when human organisms stop resisting entropy and lose organic integration.

Preborn people actively resist entropy (decay) and have organic integration (unity).

An early human organism isn’t dependent on a mature brain to organize her vital functioning.

“Later abortions only happen for medical reasons.”

According to two studies by pro-abortion researcher at UCSF Katrina Kimport, this is untrue.

Kimport’s studies found that the reasons for later abortions are similar to early abortions.

Later abortions aren’t euthanasia; infants are stabbed with lethal injections and dismembered.

Perinatal hospice and palliative care relieve suffering. Dying babies deserve love, not murder.

“What about rape and incest?”

Abortion is not evidence-based treatment for sexual trauma. Abortion is traumatic as well.

A preborn child should not be condemned to the death penalty for their father’s crime.

It is safe for most menstruating children to carry pregnancies to viability with sufficient prenatal care.

Children conceived in incest are likely to have disabilities; that’s not reason to murder them.

“What about health of the mother?”

Every abortion ban in the US has exceptions for if the mother’s life or body is in grave danger.

We are not against tragic cases of triage. We are against elective induced abortion.

Some procedures coded medically as abortions aren’t legally or ethically defined as abortions.

Pro-life doctors report that the bans have not impeded their ability to treat their patients.

Your Core Arguments

There is no sound evidence or consistent logic that proves the preborn are the only class of human beings exceptional to the rule that humans are people with equal rights.

If a being is in the dynamic process of bonding with us as kin, then that being is a whole actual person by the manner of actively and inherently relating to our collective humanity.

Embryonic humans are full and equal people like us because they latently embody our same capacities and are manifesting them as we are, on account of sharing our nature.

As an American Catholic, I would just like to say I think a lot of American Catholics really need to sit down and learn Catholic Social Teaching. I don't care if you say you are liberal or conservative. Please, for pete's sake, learn basic Catholic Social Teaching.

*spoiler alert: it's not liberal or conservative, it's not democrat or republican. It's Catholic*

For fuck sake Lottie stop being so creepy about the fucking baby. It's not "our baby", it's Shauna's. Sorry to break it to you, but you're not the father.

[andialmostdo]

living in a conservative state when it’s election time reminds you just how much your local government hates you when their endorsement ads are all filled with the following ideology of being extremely conservative, pro-life, anti-black, xenophobic, etc. and it’s so scary how there are people who just think like them and there are people who will vote for them 😐

Class:::XIO_PROCEED was a potential song for emergencies. A code command composed as a song substitute Ozwald made on the side if he couldn’t master Meo's Pastalie and her New Testament.

It's role was made to handle the Heart of the Land project once the Fuser command was completed; XIO_PROCEED would convert the poisonous substance into pure solar energy through dimension conversion and sublimating the essence of the corrosive, corruptive substance to allow it not to become a viral plague once the newer continent of the Wasteland was forged.

Unfortunately, due to the complexity of testing the usage of the newer code language discovered by he and the Mad Doctor, they altered the usage from after the [Fuser] to be made instead to be an energy disrupter. More specifically: [Blot Rerouting] on a smaller scale.

A rerouting script that, years later, stumbled into the hands of Briar Country's very own [Levan Draconia].

His encounter and studies of the script allowed him a glimpse into the lives of the Wanderers Alice and Oz. Sadly, to prevent any of the Silver Owls from claiming such knowledge, Levan had to alter the code and script more to the Mother Tongue of the Planet. In doing so, he kept it hidden safe until it was time for him to give to a potential user. Once he found such a person, the original code will be revealed and ready to be executed.

It was a generous thing he did, as one would guess. Since one little [doll] was the perfect vessel to use it to save [his son].

When the hand that feeds brings poisoned meat, it is only natural 2 bite back...

You know what they say...give, and ye shall receive. And receive they did. For his parents, a taste of their own medicine; and for his brother, an apology. One which was not his 2 give, and should have rather come spilling forth from Mother's mouth the moment she realized what she had done to her sons by bringing them in2 a world unfit for the innocent. But she never did see her mistake for what it was, blinded by the light of a false reality...and so, the blade took the place of those unspoken words.

It's not fair, not fair, not fair, they said as they died. Evil, you are evil, too evil 2 be considered human. But...it was not fair of them 2 force this hell on2 their sons, was it? And who could call this act of kindness evil! For what other reason would one go through the pain of killing his sibling, his own flesh and blood, than 2 spare him from the suffering called "life"? No, never before was there a truer act of brotherly love!

Inhuman, huh...but what good was humanity in a world where fools made kings of the cruelest men?

Thinking about the time recently I was hanging out with these two people, A and B. A is like 8 months pregnant and B is clearly a "kid person", she's all excited and asking questions like "When's it due? Do you know the gender? Have you thought about names yet?" I, on the other hand, am not a kid person and do not give the smallest shit.

Then B pulls out her tobacco and rolling papers and goes "You don't mind if I smoke, do you?" and starts rolling a cigarette, sitting right next to A. In my mind I'm like 'what the fuck' but A says "Oh no, go right ahead! I actually like the smell :)"

Listen. Like I said, I'm not a kid person. I'm also pregnancy-phobic and find the entire concept of pregnancy honestly kind of horrifying. But for fuck's actual sake, YOU DON'T SMOKE RIGHT NEXT TO A PREGNANT PERSON! You gotta respect the unborn baby! They can't protect themself, you gotta do it for them! Jfc is it that hard to step outside to have a cigarette?!

[boygirlctommy]

that is simply an entirely different prophecy

[thevikingwoman]

So in my country abs culture, you don’t have to name babies right away. You have 6 month to register a name (or baptize), so I’m pretty certain they didn’t have a different gendered name picked out. I do know an alternative name and I’m glad I’m not called that 🤣

On that coast, beached whales often bring the spirits of unborn children from the drowned country under the sea to be carried inland and born through the freshwater.

Refuse to Get Stuck

Following are words from a ministry that I receive online encouragement from daily: “Refuse to get stuck in trying to guess what the future will bring, and what you might have to do. Conjecture is not truth. Take every day as it comes and do the best you can with current circumstances. “Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day…
