Fetus Wars

These scientific facts should be enough to persuade women to abandon abortions forever. Sadly, it is not......


1.) The heart of a fetus begins beating at 18 days [when the mother is only four days late for her first menstrual period], and by 21 days it is pumping, through a closed circulatory system, blood whose type is different from that of the mother.

----This fact establishes a live human being with a different blood supply than that of the mother.

2.) Brain waves of fetus' have been recorded at 40 days on the Electroencephalogram (EEG)

----Once again, this proves the existence of a new human being.

3.) At eight (8) weeks, a fetus begins to feel pain. At the eight (8) week mark, the fetus' neuro-anatomic structures are present. What is needed is (1) a sensory nerve to feel the pain and send a message to (2) the thalamus, a part of the base of the brain, and (3) motor nerves that send a message to that area. These are present at 8 weeks. The pain impulse goes to the thalamus. It sends a signal down the motor nerves to pull away from the hurt.

----This can be illustrated with a simple and logical example.

Try sticking an infant with a pin and you know what happens. She opens her mouth to cry and also pulls away.

Try sticking an 8 week old human fetus in the palm of his hand. He opens his mouth and pulls his hand away.

A more technical description would add that changes in heart rate and fetal movement also suggest that intrauterine manipulations are painful to the fetus.

Fetus Wars

Despite the new scientific findings about the ability of a fetus to feel, women continue to have abortions. Why is this so? Why do women feel that they have the right to end another human beings life? The fact remains, that abortion is murder, and murder is illegal. Why isn't abortion illegal? It makes about as much sense as Obama in the White House.
