7 Week Embryo

The  Law and Personhood

On January 22, 1973, the United States  Supreme Court ruled that the preborn child is a “non-person” in the Roe vs. Wade  case. Everyday in the U.S., over 3000 babies are denied justice and executed with no judge, no jury, and no trial.

Since 1973, the United  States has the blood of more than 55 million babies on its hands. A death toll that exceeds the deaths of all American wars combined. The U.S. Supreme Court, in the 1973 companion cases of Roe vs. Wade and Doe vs. Bolton  gave women the right to abort during all nine months of pregnancy. Some  abortion clinics will only perform abortions up until 12 weeks, but there are  abortionists who specialize in third trimester pregnancy.

In the Dred Scott  decision in 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that black people were not  “persons” in the eyes of the Constitution. Was the Supreme Court wrong? Absolutely.

 Remember, everyone who supports abortion has been born already  just as everyone who supported slavery was free.

Life Begins at Conception
Scientists agree that life begins at conception, or fertilization.  Once the sperm enters the egg, new life has begun. The embryo has a heartbeat by 22 days and brain waves by 6 weeks. The word ‘fetus’ is a Latin word meaning “little one” or “offspring.” The baby is not actually called a fetus until 9 weeks through birth. At eight weeks, the developing human, called an embryo, has all of its body systems and they are functional. In the United States of America, abortion is the only legalized act of violence.  "Every human embryologist in the world knows that the life of the new individual human being begins at fertilization. It is not belief. It is scientific fact." Ward Kischer, Ph.D, Human Embryologist, University of Arizona

Harold Andrew Blackmun. Blackmun authored the Court's opinion in Roe v. Wade

A Look at the Roe Vs Wade Decision
The Supreme Court stated, “We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins.  When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary…is NOT (caps added) in a position to speculate as to the answer.”  Justice Blackmun 1973.

The very issue that Justice Blackmun said that we need not resolve IS the very question at hand….When does life begin?  Abortion assumes non-humanness, so Justice Blackmun essentially said, since medicine, philosophy, and theology cannot agree on the issue of when life begins…….the judiciary doesn’t know either so go ahead and kill them.  Blackmun said he was in no position to speculate as to the answer, but then did so anyway. What sort of logic is it to say 'we don't know when life begins' and then rule to allow abortion.

     Why not  err on the side of life if we "are not in a position to speculate" when life begins?
