Abortion – ProLife vs. Murder on Demand

“Life begins at conception.” “Abortion is murder.”Abortion is a moral dilemma that continues to circulate in society by two groups that have been arguing for and against abortion policies in the United States – Pro-life and Pro-choice. Democrats argue that Women’s Reproductive Rights are in jeopardy, but a large number of the so-called women are young teenagers and women with economic challenges. Pro-life advocates argue that life for the unborn fetus begins at conception. While opposition Pro-choice denies this argument as a fact – their argument is life begins when a pregnancy goes to term. However, the Pro-choice argument isn’t about when life begins; rather it centers on a woman’s right to choose. This a choice at odds with the many Pro-life groups that contend abortions are a wholesale market for murder without consideration of life.

Now, to be fair. Abortions have existed for centuries without question. A written abstract by G Hovey called Abortion: a history reveals that in the early Roman Catholic church, abortion was permitted for male fetuses in the first 40 days of pregnancy and female fetuses in the first 80-90 days. Not until 1588 did Pope Sixtus V declare all abortion murder, with ex-communication as the punishment. Only 3 years later a new pope found the absolute sanction unworkable and again allowed early abortions. 300 years would pass before the Catholic Church under Pius IX again declared all abortion murder. This standard declared in 1869, remains the official position of the church, reaffirmed by the current pope. An article called Church Has Always Condemned Abortion by Fr. William Saunders contends the Roman Catholic Church has consistently condemned abortion — the direct and purposeful taking of the life of the unborn child. In principle, Catholic Christians believe that all life is sacred from conception until natural death, and the taking of innocent human life, whether born or unborn, is morally wrong. The Church teaches, "Human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative action of God and it remains forever in a special relationship with the Creator, who is its sole end. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning until its end: no one can under any circumstance claim for himself the right directly to destroy an innocent human being" ("Donum vitae," 5).


In 1920 the Soviet Union became the 1st modern state formally to legalize abortion. In the early period after the 1917 revolution, abortion was readily available in state-operated facilities. These facilities were closed and abortion was made illegal when it became clear that the Soviet Union would have to defend itself against Nazi Germany. In the United States as early as 1856 Dr. Horatio Storer establishes a national drive through the American Medical Association to make all abortions illegal. Before this, first-trimester abortions were legal or a misdemeanor in most states. However, I think the moral dilemma was that of the sanctity of life and not one of profit.

Let’s begin by asking this important question: What is an abortion? And what impact has it had on society? According to the Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica; an abortion is the expulsion of a fetus from the uterus before it has reached the stage of viability (in human beings, usually about the 20th week of the gestation period). The Pro-choice movement states “the fetus is just a part of the pregnant woman’s body, like her tonsils or appendix. You can’t seriously believe a frozen embryo is an actual person.” This callous comparison of the fetus to the tonsils or the appendix is insidious in its argument. But, the debate for a women’s right to have an abortion was argued back in 1959 when the American Law Institute (ALI) proposed a model penal code for state abortion laws. The code advocates legalizing abortion for reasons including the mental or physical health of the mother, pregnancy due to rape and incest, and fetal deformity. The stage was being set for the abortion debate, to normalize this healthcare procedure similar in scope to remove a wisdom tooth without the implications it would present legally, morally, and spiritually to not only the women but society as well.

And this leads to a challenging question debated fiercely by Pro-life and Pro-Choice advocates – when does life begin during a pregnancy? According to an article on LiveAction; Science is clear: Each new human life begins at fertilization By Sarah Terzo on January 13, 2013 – she wrote that “Science teaches without reservation that life begins at fertilization (conception). It is a scientific fact that an organism exists after fertilization that did not exist before. This new organism has its own DNA distinct from the mother and father, meaning that it is a unique person. As the embryo grows, it develops a heartbeat (22 days after fertilization), its own circulatory system, and its own organs. From fertilization, it is a new organism that is alive and will continue to grow and develop as long as nutrition is provided and its life is not ended through violence or illness.”

However, Pro-choice argues “It is uncertain when human life begins; that’s a religious question that cannot be answered by science.” According to the book: ProLife Answers to ProChoice Arguments by Randy Alcorn written February 18, 2010, he states the following; Medical textbooks and scientific reference work consistently agree that human life begins at conception. Some of the world’s most prominent scientists and physicians testified to a U.S. Senate committee that human life begins at conception. Many other prominent scientists and physicians have likewise affirmed with certainty that human life begins at conception.

Next, it should be noted that abortions have become a billion-dollar-a-year industry if not more. The abortion industry with companies like Planned Parenthood, Whole Woman’s Health, All Women’s Health, and Family Planning Associates Medical Group provide comprehensive healthcare, but largely provide abortions on demand. Planned Parenthood alone grosses billions, but I can’t provide the actual numbers because it's not disclosed in the report. I downloaded the 2019 annual report and provided percentages in pie charts rather than real numbers. Additionally, Planned Parenthood gets financial funding from the federal government and millions in donations. This amount of monetary gain is achieved by the wholesale slaughter of the unborn and the sale of aborted body parts like fresh-cut choice meats at a butcher shop for profit. And I apologize for the description, but this is a fact.
If you recall the Federalist journalist Edie Heipel on April 5, 2021, wrote an article about legal accountability group Judicial Watch dropping a bombshell: a nearly 600-page report proving the U.S. government has been buying and trafficking “fresh” aborted baby body parts. These body parts, purchased by the (FDA) or U.S. Food and Drug Administration to “humanize” mice and test biological drugs in scientific experiments, came from babies up to 24 weeks old gestation, just weeks from being born. So what changed? Well, aborted baby parts were no longer thrown into dumpsters, no; now the wholesale of baby parts is an additional revenue stream by the abortion industry and funded by the Federal government.
While Americans may be used to hearing pro-lifers beat the warning drum on abortion groups harvesting baby bodies and selling them for research, (who hasn’t heard of the lawsuit against David Daleiden, who exposed Planned Parenthood haggling over baby lungs and livers at dinner parties?) this time, the U.S. government was the one trafficking baby parts.

It should not surprise you, your tax dollars are hard at work purchasing dismembered body parts of aborted fetuses for the FDA, and the California-based Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR) conduct Frankenstein-level experiments; I mean it’s a billion-dollar industry profiting on the murder of the unborn or future of the human race. That’s why you have lobbyists petitioning the government to repeal abortion laws so companies like Planned Parenthood can continue to profit along with their investors. And think about this; abortions aren’t meant to comfort women but provide a resource of human parts to many industries because of the inconvenience of an unwanted pregnancy.

So who is culpable and complicit in helping sustain the abortion industry? The FDA, the Health and Human Services agencies, Planned Parenthood, and our government. And the public is unwittingly misled to believe what these agencies are providing to the economically challenged provides Women’s Reproductive Rights. It is a sham. This is why “sex education” doesn’t work, nor are parental values encouraged by the industry, politicians, and even religious groups because the laws are designed to keep the abortion industry running – the fact is, the laws encourage promiscuity in our youth because these are the manufacturers of fetuses to an industry without oversight. In addition, teen abortions can occur without parental consent, which violates the rights of the parents.

Edie Hiepel's article goes on to say, “Americans should be outraged their government participates in the wide-scale human trafficking operation that created a market for harvesting the organs of murdered infants. In no humane society could such a violation of the human body and dignity occur, in which babies’ eyes are “harvested immediately upon death,” organs marketed based on sex, and personhood attributed to mice but not children. Until demanded otherwise, our society is complicit in the unchecked abuse and commodification of preborn children. Moral urgency is incumbent on us to condemn these atrocities sanctioned by the federal government’s lead medical researchers and fight to stop them. We may lose more battles before we win, but we cannot say we never knew.” Sounds to me like we are repeating a tragic period in history and following China’s massive pro-abortion ideologies.

Whatever happened to the consciousness of the American people? Why can’t we teach teenagers and adults alike to use contraception to prevent unwanted pregnancies? The simple answer is there are profits to be made in the wholesale murder of the unborn. May God have mercy on our souls for permitting these atrocities.
