Sled Abortion
There are 4 major differences between a fetus an a new born baby.
1. Size
2. Level of development
3. Environment
4. Dependency
1. size - a person may argue "how can you believe a little fetus is a person, it can't even fit in the palm of your hand" etc. Well... I simply ask you "Is what you're saying that small people are less human than big people?"
2. Level of development - a person may argue "how can you argue a fetus is a person, they haven't formulated brain cells, there body is being developed, it's not even alive". A 14 year old girl does not yet have a reproductive system... If the way your body naturally developes itself defines whether or not you are human then it'd be okay to go kill people based upon age or natural growth.
3. Environment - this one is the best because people try to argue that the 8.5 inches down the birth canal is what gives you life. But if I get in my car and drive from my house to IHOP. I'm not changing who I am as a person I am changing location.
4. Dependency - babies in the womb are dependent on their mother for food, health, oxygen. So you're less of a person if you're dependent on something right?? Well I could list a handful of my friends who are dependent on medicine to keep their health under control. It gets into the arguement of well are cocaine addicts less of a human because they are dependent on their drug. Or are diabetics less human because they need insulin shots. What about food, water, oxygen. Are we all not dependent on these things for survival?
I am so completely against abortion but how often have I thought about the logical reasons why I am against abortion, not just because God opposes it (which is surely enough no questions asked). However for the sake of debate it is pointless to stand for what you believe in without the explanations that make since to someone opposing you're view.
I was thinking the other day about how abortion could be ended in America. The Supreme Court could argue back and forth and back and forth about whether or not a baby in the womb is truely alive. There is no scientific evidence that is going to come out saying life begins specifically at this point and reverse roe v. wade. However if statistical reports of harm abortions cause to the women having them were to increase by substancial number the Supreme Court would have no choice but to make it illegal.

right on miss. I heard some dude on focus on the family talking about this acronym the other day. Really amazing stuff, it inspired me to do something more, so as a graphic designer i decided to start printing materials and leaving them in the public for passer-bys to read. I think its important like you said to be able to defend our views (& faith for that manner) in not only a biblical manner but a logical one as well. Maybe if we all continue to spread the truth in a non judgmental non confrontational manner Roe v. Wade will be flipped! or better yet maybe it won't even have to, perhaps people will just not want to end the lives of these children
Praising God for the work of the people at Focus On The Family and of yourself Abby, who are taking the time to give an answer to every man, woman or child, who asks of the hope that is within us as believers in the God of the Bible. I heard Scott Klusendorf sharing his defense for the humanity of the unborn, no matter the condition or developmental stage of the baby inside the womb, and I was immediately grateful to have this man on our side. His apologetics on this topic are effective and to the point, and I too will be sharing them with the opposition to life. Those of us who love God with all our hearts, minds and souls will fight the good fight relentlessly. Gods strength be with you Abby, and all of us who dare to stand up for whats right, even when political correctness stands in our way.
