”America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father’s role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts - a child - as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters.

Now at what point did I say I was pro-death penalty, oh I didn’t, now who is dumb? Just sayin’
Women ARE Pro-Life!
Not all women.
But the death penalty is ok? Dumb fucks
So full of ignorant anger that you couldn’t see I never said pro-choice females are not women. My point: women are not all pro-death/pro-choice!
Women ARE Pro-Life!
no, women are women whether they are pro-life or pro-choice. I am no less of a woman because I respect the fact that every woman should have the right to choose what they want for their own body.

“Franciscan tertiary at age 15. She received a vision telling her she would inspire devout women in their vocation.
In Crete, during a pilgrimage to Holy Land, she was struck blind. Her friends wanted to return home, but she insisted on going on, visiting the shrines with as much devotion and enthusiasm as if she had her sight. On the way home, while praying before a crucifix, her sight was restored at the same place where it had been lost.
In 1535 she gathered a group of girl students and began what would become the Institute of Saint Ursula (Ursuline Sisters), founded toteach children, beginning with religion and later expanding into secular topics; her first schools were in the Italian cities of Desenazno and Brescia.” (From http://communio.stblogs.org/)

These analogies only work if you avoid those pesky “difficult concepts” from science: concepts like fertilization, species classification, and biological development.
Let’s start with the egg. They’re right: it isn’t a chicken, because it hasn’t been fertilized. Hens lay eggs whether or not they’ve conceived; this means that farmers can avoid chicken reproduction by simply keeping the roosters separate from the hens, without hurting egg production. The eggs sold in supermarkets are almost always unfertilized. What you’re eating is the stuff that would have nourished the chick before hatching, had a chick been conceived. (As our dear friend Phil puts it, “Eggs are chicken period. Have fun erasing that mental image.”)
If you were to break open an egg that was fertilized, you’d reveal something rather unfamiliar to your breakfast table:See the beak and the tiny little bird foot? Chicken. Very young chicken, but still chicken.
Let’s move on to the acorn. “An acorn is not a tree” is one of the oldest, easiest-to-refute, unoriginal, nonsense pro-choice statements in the book. It relies on a simple linguistic confusion. The word “tree” can be used in two subtly different ways. One use is to designate species: oak trees, pine trees, etc. Another meaning designates the adult stage of the plant, as in “I planted a sapling last August, and now it’s a tree.” An acorn is not an adult tree. It IS a member of its species: oak, pine, or whatever the case may be. Likewise, unborn children are human, but they are not adults (and obviously, pro-lifers have never claimed that they are).
The silkworm example is just ridiculous. Of course a part of the raw materials used to make a dress is not a dress. But embryos and fetuses are not “raw materials” for making people. The raw materials are the nutrients that we ingest— prenatally through the umbilical cord, in infancy through breast milk or formula, and so on. We don’t “come from” unborn children; we once were unborn children.
This brings us to the final image. It appears that this image depicts a moment just before fertilization; the sperm hasn’t yet gone in to mingle its DNA with the egg’s DNA. So, ironically enough, the pro-choicers are actually right about this— just not for the reasons they think.
But let’s pretend that it were really an image of the moment of fertilization. Human fertilization (also known as conception) creates new members of the human species. Newly conceived human beings are of course not adults yet, but neither are they mere raw materials. They are simply young, and look exactly how they are supposed to at this stage of their lives. At conception, they possess all the genetic information that will guide them through the prenatal period, infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. Every person, including you, can trace back his or her existence as an individual to this event.
Pro-lifers are at a disadvantage here. In general, people tend to prefer simplistic ideas to ones that take more time to explain, even if the latter has science on its side. The abortion movement has made very good use of misleading images and language. It’s up to us to improve public understanding, one person at a time. Please share this post with your friends.
So just as a disclaimer, I hijacked this picture from http://digihairshirt.blogspot.com/2012/01/time-of-testing.html.
In the blog post the author stated many people say this is “the face of abortion.” And indeed it is, while I am sure the blogger is talking about the shirt, “I had an abortion” I am talking about this woman’s race. I actually met this woman at the March for Life 2012, she was standing at the steps of the Supreme Court yelling “if a man want’s to put his embryo in me, come on, bring it, I don’t want it, so what.”
What’s sad is that this Black woman, presenting herself as unintelligent (based off her quote) and angry, this is the face Margret Sanger targeted with her American Birth Control League, now known as Planned Parenthood of America, the “human weeds” of our society, colored and stupid.
This woman is not the “face of abortion” she is the face of an American society that has continued to wage war on Black America. The pro-life movement is not in a “war on women” they are the allies to women and the allies to Black America, WAKE UP! My dream is that one day this woman will be the “Face of Life” the face of the pro life movement, the face of hope!
