DESTROYING ABORTION ARGUMENTS
ARGUMENT #1: The life in the womb is not human because it is not fully developed.
ANSWER: This disregards the fact that the nature of the life is human. It has human DNA and is alive. How can its nature not be human if it is alive and has human DNA?
This asserts a false premise that someone is not human until he/she is fully developed. What constitutes full development? One hour before birth or one hour after? Is there really a difference?
At what point does the life (that is human in nature) suddenly develop value?
If value is dependent upon the choice of the mother, then how is it possible that the choice of the mother changes the nature of the life from valueless to valuable since there is no change in the condition of the life in the womb?
ARGUMENT #2: The human tissue produced in the woman is the property of the one who produces it.
ANSWER: But if what is growing in the womb is a person, it cannot be owned. Is the life in the womb property like a cat or a dog that can be owned?
When does the child stop being the property of the mother? At birth? At one-year old? Two? Ten? Twenty?
It is animals who are owned--not people--unless you want to reintroduce slavery.
ARGUMENT #3: If the tissue is not human but just like an internal organ, it belongs to the one in whom it dwells.
ANSWER: An internal organ is meant to be an internal organ and not a person. The life in the womb is meant to be a person. They are different by design and nature, so the claim that it is the property of the mother is invalid.
They are different in nature because an internal organ does not have the ability to become a human.
ARGUMENT #4: The life in the womb is really part of the woman, and the woman has the right to do as she wills with her body.
ANSWER: If it is part of the woman, then does the woman have four arms, four legs, two heads, and four eyes? Is that what a human is?
It is part of the woman only in the sense that the life is living and growing inside the mother.
Her body is feeding the life. Her body is separate from the life growing in her.
The life growing in the womb can have a different blood type from the mother, and it has separate brain waves. It is, therefore, an independent life with its own human DNA, its nature is human, and its life is separate from the mother.
People are free to do as they please within the confines of the law. For example, the law says people do not have the right to take illegal drugs into their bodies.
Though abortion is legal, that does not mean it is right. Slavery was legal, but that did not make it right.
