Knowledge Is Power; Truth Is Almighty

 

…..In her book Abortion And The Politics Of Motherhood, Kristin Luker quoted a woman who detailed how she became active in the pro-life movement.  She said, “I’ve always been against abortion.  I’d written letters and things like that, but the final straw was this class I had at Cal State….  Abortion came up, and the teacher was saying it didn’t matter, that the child wouldn’t even know the difference.  And I tried a few things but I really didn’t know what to say.  And it just made me angry that he didn’t know the facts at all.  And I tried to say something, but it just didn’t work.”1  She went home, made calls, became trained and involved.

     The woman witnessed the ignorance of the majority who are pro-murder – her teacher “didn’t know the facts at all.”  Pro-murder minds are made up by everything except the facts because the facts are against them.  They want sex outside of marriage without facing the consequences, without responsibility.  Some side with murder because they sympathize with the woman and completely ignore the unborn child.  Others are fueled by ambition and are selfish to the core.  Others see difficulties and wrongly think murder is a solution when it shouldn’t even be considered as an option.  Pause and think about that for a moment – what’s wrong with you if you think murder should even be in a discussion about possible actions to take?

     The woman admitted her own inability to effectively address the professor’s comments.  Many pro-life people aren’t knowledgeable about the facts either.  What did she do when she realized her inadequacy?  She didn’t retreat but took aggressive steps to learn and be prepared for future situations.

     Sometimes, it’s merely a matter of focus and thought about what the pro-murder advocate says.  Her teacher justified abortion by saying that it didn’t matter – the child wouldn’t even know the difference.  One could say in like manner that if you kill a person instantly in their sleep or one who’s in a coma or who’s under anesthesia it doesn’t matter – the victim won’t know the difference.  He’s dead.

     An easy way to answer many false arguments of abortion murder advocates is to answer in kind.  I took the professor’s false argument about murdering the unborn and applied it to murdering the sleeper, etc.  Invariably, the murderer then runs away to another argument rather than admitting he was wrong.  Hold his feet to the fire.  Make him go back and admit he was wrong.

     I also used a second way to counter his argument, one that we must use against virtually every false argument the pro-murder advocate tries – abortion murders a human being.  It doesn’t matter if you’re answering one line, a paragraph, an article, or a book as large as a set of encyclopedias.  A few words or many words don’t justify murder.

     Knowledge is power.  Pro-murder advocates aren’t just a little ignorant about this issue.  They’re shockingly so.  Read, study, learn.  You’ll quickly know far more than they do.  And even more important – what we know will be the truth because the facts are on our side.  Truth will triumph over error because truth is almighty.

Human Beings

…..The abortion crowd pushed abortion to make it legal by slanting the issue, avoiding the fact that abortion murders an unborn child.  In their arguments today, pro-murder people continue to slant discussions in order to persuade the gullible and protect their murderous position.  Essentially, that’s what the bloody supreme court did in 1973 – slant its discussion about the unborn child in the womb.  Those justices did it by relying upon a philosophical term (person) and using it rather than simply asking science and common sense if this was a human being or not.  Science says it is and thus abortion is murder.  But they skirted that by focusing on “person”.

…..In discussions with others, and in articles here, I routinely speak of a child in the womb or the unborn baby.  That’s common language that the world uses.  A woman who is pregnant is “with child”.  She will be asked, “Have you felt your baby move yet?”  But those who argue in support of murdering that baby will almost invariably try to slant the discussion by changing terms.  It’s not a baby.  It’s a fetus.  It’s not a child.  That’s not a person.  Or, it’s a zygote.  Or, it’s just a glob of tissue.  It’s the Nazi mind at work, making that unborn human being subhuman.  Before beginning to slaughter the Jews, gypsies, the infirm, Poles, and others, the Nazis used words and arguments to reduce those groups to something less than human beings.

…..Consider this list of some of the stages of a human life:

  1. zygote
  2. blastocyst
  3. embryo
  4. fetus
  5. newborn infant
  6. toddler
  7. teen
  8. young adult
  9. middle-aged
  10. senior

    Is a newborn infant not a human being because he is not a young adult? Is a toddler not a human being because he’s not a teen?  Is a senior not a human being because he’s not middle-aged anymore?  Those are absurd suggestions just as saying a fetus is not a baby so it’s not a human being and we can destroy it.  It’s absurd to argue that a woman can choose to have it torn apart within her womb because it’s just a fetus, not a baby.In discussions, a pro-choice person will slant his argument with the words fetus or zygote or others.  Always bring him back to the fact that whichever word he uses (and whichever word we use of those ten above or others that are not included), a human being is what exists in the womb and is merely developing into another stage of its existence.  Dr. Micheline Matthews-Roth of Harvard Medical School testified, “It is incorrect to say that biological data cannot be decisive…. It is scientifically correct to say that an individual human life begins at conception.”1

…..If I’m challenged in a one-on-one discussion about my use of the word “baby”, I may shrug and say, “Okay.  To be exact, the unborn baby is not a baby but a fetus.”  Then, I will use the phrase “human being” exclusively.  I will not allow the pro-murder individual to make the unborn child subhuman by using “fetus”.  I will reveal the truth that he wants to conceal and avoid by his slanted choice of terms by using “human being”.

…..Millions have been deceived by the pro-murder advocates because of their deliberate choice of words and phrases, because they carefully avoid the truth about what they desire- the death of a human being in a woman’s womb.  We must now reshape and re-capture the discussion by the words we deliberately choose that reveal what they try to hide from those they are misleading.

…..No matter which way they twist things, science is against them and they are murdering human beings at the rate of 2500 per day, in gruesome ways.
