“My body, my choice!”
Yes, a woman can choose what to do with her body: She can choose her hair style, hair color, makeup, tattoos and piercings, clothing, food and exercise choices. She can also choose whether or not to engage in intimate activity, when, and with whom.
But when she is pregnant, what is growing in her womb is not her body, but the body of a separate and unique human being, who had nothing to do with being conceived. Every woman has the choice of being chaste and pure – not a popular concept in today’s culture, but it’s the only one that completely prevents pregnancy, STDs, shame, and regret, as well as sin – another unpopular concept in today’s world.
Every woman needs to take charge of her own body and her own life, and take full responsibility for her own choices. A woman is uniquely created to give and nurture life, and lovingly care for her family as the foundation of a stable society.
The "Fetus" Argument
The “Fetus” For many years, their most significant and basic argument has been that the so-called fetus is not a human life. They also claim that the question of when human life begins is uncertain and a religious issue. However, medical textbooks and scientific reference works consistently agree that life begins at conception, when a genetically distinct individual is brought into existence.
Some of the world's most prominent scientists and physicians testified to a U.S. Senate committee that human life begins at conception. At these same hearings, pro-abortionists, though invited to do so, failed to produce even a single expert witness who would testify that life begins at any point other than conception.
From the moment of conception, the unborn fetus is not simple, but very complex. The newly fertilized egg contains a staggering amount of genetic information, sufficient to control the individual's growth and development for an entire lifetime. It is scientifically inaccurate and untrue to say a fetus is not a human being simply because he or she is at an earlier stage of development than an infant.
The mother and the unborn child are two separate individuals and half the time, they are not even the same sex! The child has its own DNA, fingerprints and blood type, distinct from the mother's.
