It's interesting how these people are in a frenzy about abortion, and what to ethically do with the tissue resulting from it but have been strangely silent about the
millions of embryos created through by the for-profit invitro fertilization clinics.
In the UK, 2012 -
1.7 million embryos were discarded.
Criticisms to this are fairly mild because it's in the name of helping couples to have more children.
Couples can choose to donate the embryos to research.
Actually, we aren't silent on it. You just don't engage in that conversation because your primary focus is to justify the butchery of much older babies, so you only see us here.
Strange....I can find zillions of threads here on abortion but in vitro? No....
Same when it I look info...no mass protests, no demands being made....no labeling of "baby killer" and "slut" to the women who produced them.
But I understand your need to move the goalposts. Suddenly - you draw a distinction between the ages of a fetus. Why? Are some more worthy of protection than others?
Nope. It's just that the baby murderers don't go around screeching how great it is like they do about PP butcher shops. If you did, you'd find the same people there.
It was actors intentionally trying to catch the off comment and entrap those of the PP into this farce. In any field you will find those who might be perceived as heartless or jaded. It is a defense mechanism, much like what happens in war. You learn about saving people that can be saved and making comfortable those who can't. It is not heartless, but it is practical, using resources where they will do the most good. The PP help those who want children and those who don't want at this time. There will be life and death. The tissue is either for research or for incineration as medical waste. Do you expect people to stand around and cry for each piece that is put in the fire? Why do you expect them to be all blurry eyed when talking of expenses or tissue to be used for research? Should each piece have a name given by the mother? It was not a living breathing independent thing yet. It was not given birth. It is a mass of cells developing over time. It has not life on it's own. It is a leech draining the woman slowly. It is in the first trimester when most miscarriages that place, the body is in conflict with the pregnancy. Many factors are in place to keep the body from rejecting the egg. It is an alien thing in the body.
Until it is sufficiently developed to live outside the woman's body it is not really alive or a baby. Since the first live birth, women have had to deal with loss. A loss before birth when hormones change a loss is much easier to deal with. After birth hormones effect the brain to motivate the mother to care for the infant.
No choice when it comes to consider being a mother is easy. Only the woman can decide what is best for her and her body. Either way she has to live with her choice. It is her life and the choice should not be made for her by strangers who do not know her or care about her life. Few of the pro-life poster seem to give the woman much consideration at all, only to the potential life her body is developing. They are enslaving the woman for nine months or more to serve not herself but an alien being growing insider her. They want her to give birth but not about what she goes through during the pregnancy. They care about a life that can be adopted but not about all the lives out there that are going un-adopted. They want to force a woman who is not ready to be a mother to give birth but they say nothing of all the half million miscarriages or so each year. They say nothing about how difficult it really is to adopt a child. They cannot promise all the women their children will go to a good loving home.
You control your body, but you should not control the body or other women out there. You make choices for your body, allow women to do the same.
