Gang dan it ProLifers have the ability to get me riled up!

Took some time out to add to the discussion on the I'm Not Sorry blog.

What follows is my tidbit, the rest can be found here.

Pro-lifers annoy me a bit, but pro-lifers who make misrepresentations about the foetus in the face of current scientific knowledge about foetal capacity make me see ripe ridliodin red.

I looked at the pics on your link. Could you please tell me why the 25 week old foetus hasn't yet got fully separated fingers? That should have been complete by week ten. Also, why is the 33 week old apparent 4D ULTRASOUND wrapped in a BLANKET???? That picture is clearly doctored.

This site isn't even guilty of using 25 week old foetuses and claiming that they are 7 weeks. It's just plain old sloppy lies. They don't care about accuracy, just about portraying the foetus as a thing that can be hurt and a person separate from its mother.

Here's some news sunshine, it is not a separate being from its mother. Take a 14 week old foetus away from its mother and no amount of praying will turn that lump of human meat into a baby. It has the same moral status as an amputated limb - unless it's reattached, it's dead.

No one knows what it is like to be aborted, not because no-one survives to tell it, but because for a foetus, there is nothing "it is like" to do anything. (Actually, there are a few abortion survivors and they can't tell you what it was like, why? They can't remember, they weren't laying down memories at that time.) At 14 weeks (98% of abortions performed in Australia are done before then), it may have little arms and legs and a head and face that would look better on an alien than a human being, but it does not have awareness or memory let alone consciousness. It might wriggle, but these wriggles are reflexes necessary for building functioning limbs. Adult worms wriggle, are you going to grant them the same moral status? Are you going to save the wittle wormies?

Of course you're not, because you are a Christian you think there is something special about human life. Your religion has far more to do with your views than you will admit.

If you want your views to be taken seriously (why else would you continue to post here?) try getting some medical information from a place that's not funded by Pro-Life groups.

Now Back to thesis!
