“The real question today is not when human life begins, but, What is the value of human life? The abortionist who reassembles the arms and legs of a tiny baby to make sure all its parts have been torn from its mother's body can hardly doubt whether it is a human being. The real question for him and for all of us is whether that tiny human life has a God-given right to be protected by the law— the same right we have.” ~ Ronald Reagan
If you ask the American People whether they personally believe that abortion takes the life of a pre-born child, 80% will say “yes”. If you ask the American people if abortion should remain legal, 70% will say “yes” at least in some circumstances it should remain legal. It doesn't make much sense does it? Why would 70% of that same 80% of the American people that were surveyed say yes to keeping abortion legal when they believe that it ends the life of a pre-born child?
Our challenge: The word “abortion” has lost its meaning. What use to be unthinkable is now socially acceptable! We must put life back into the word “fetus”. We need to define who and what make a human being a ”person”, incredibly there are some who believe there a is a difference between being a “human being” and a “human person”.
Here are a few definitions to help restore meaning.....
Fetus - In Greek, the definition is “little One”
Uterus- In Hebrew, the definition is “compassion”
Pregnant- To be heavy with young
Having offspring developing in uterus
That had conceived with child
Pregnancy- A condition or quality of being pregnant
Embryo- An early stage of development, underdeveloped or incomplete
Zygote- A cell formed union of male and female
A fertilized egg cell before splitting or dividing
Four Essential Tasks
1) Restore meaning to the word Abortion
2) Simplify the abortion issue
3) Offer a sound irrefutable argument
4) The ability to answer objections with Truth
