Most abortions in the US are done in the first 16 weeks by suction.  There is no cutting involved.  There is also no baby involved.

This is a fetus at 16 weeks.

16 weeks. The foetus uses its hands to explore its own body and its surroundings...


I would not characterize this as a "pile of cells."  I would call that fetus a baby.

No they are not. Eugenics were all about sterilization.  Abortion and infanticide have nothing to do with that, especially when they are healthy.  I really think this was written by some anti-abortion person who thought they were being bright.


Of course they are. They just couldnt sell the public that undesirables must be sterilized anymore. So they went on to phase 2, abortion. The same exact people who pushed sterilization were suddenly the ones screaming "rights" and "choice". Through it the have been able to eliminate millions. Now they are looking for aproval for stage 3.
Some things are true, even if you dont believe them.

Nor would I characterize it as a baby, because it is not.  Also, if you read correctly, before 16 weeks, not at 16 weeks.  And according to the information provided, most are before 8 weeks.

Just looking for clarification - do you believe that pro-choice individuals would condone the killing of newborns?

It’s a pile of cells. That’s why sane people can approve of abortion in early pregnancy, when there’s no chance that pile can feel anything. What was called “partial birth” in crazy US is not abortion, it’s butchering. No one sane can approve of that, just like no one sane could ever approve of killing living, breathing babies.

Example to clear the pile of cells issue: it’s an old custom not to announce your pregnancy for first two months, because that’s when it becomes serious, after those first two months. When early pregnancy is lost it’s hard too, of course, emotionally, but biologically speaking it’s not as big deal as it is if almost viable baby goes away.  

Timing is everything here.
I have never heard of a woman who was happy to have an abortion, but that option must exist, though it has to be last of last choices, the desperate option.
No woman today can say she didn’t know how babies are made, and how to avoid that, but no one knows what life can bring and what kind of insane situation you can find yourself in. That’s why there must be choice. If for no other reason, then because my uterus is my uterus, not preacher’s, pope’s or anyone else’s. Mine. I decide if I’m going to grow someone inside it or not. Period. No pun intended.

This is 8 weeks. I count 10 fingers and 10 toes. That is a living human. But what ever gets you through the night I guess.

Well, it is not a baby, but you have the right to believe whatever you want.

I think it is wishful thinking to say a baby can't feel anything.  It's the same justification for eating lobster boiled alive. "it can't feel it."  If you are willing to kill it, at least acknowledge the truth.  You are killing a baby.  

This is the fetus at 8 weeks.

I would not characterize this as a "pile of cells"  I would call it a fetus.  By suggesting that it is a "pile of cells" you are dehumanizing it to make it more justifiable.  It's not a pile of cells.  Not at all. It's a fetus.

Not where I live, because it is illegal.  14 & 1/2 weeks is the latest you can have an abortion in my state.
