Pro-Life
The term “pro-life” is used to describe people who are opposed to abortion. They believe that abortion is the taking of a human life and that it is morally wrong. Pro-life people often support laws that restrict or ban abortion.
There are many different reasons why people are pro-life. Some people believe that life begins at conception and that an unborn child is a person with the same rights as a born child. Others believe that abortion is harmful to women, both physically and emotionally. Still others believe that abortion is wrong because it violates the sanctity of life.
- Abortion is the taking of a human life.
- Abortion is harmful to women, both physically and emotionally.
- Abortion violates the sanctity of life.
- Abortion is not necessary in most cases.
- There are other options available to women, such as adoption.

Pro-Choice
Being pro-choice means believing that everyone has the right to decide whether or not to have an abortion. Pro-choicers believe that this is a fundamental human right, and that no one should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term against their will.
Pro-choicers also believe that access to safe and legal abortion is essential for women’s health and well-being. They argue that when women are denied access to abortion, they are forced to carry unwanted pregnancies to term, which can have serious physical and emotional consequences.
- They believe that women have the right to control their own bodies and make their own decisions about their reproductive health.
- They believe that abortion is a safe and legal medical procedure that should be accessible to all women.
- They believe that criminalizing abortion does not stop women from having abortions, but rather makes them more dangerous.
- They believe that the best way to reduce the number of abortions is to prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place.

WHAT IS INFANTICIDE/FETICIDE?
First lets describe Infanticide (Pro-Choice):
“The act of killing an infant is generally referred to as “infanticide.” Infanticide is a grave and criminal act that involves the intentional killing of a newborn or very young child. It is illegal in most societies and is considered a heinous crime.” [“Sadly & Shamefully, In America this has been decriminalized” – Paul Lovette]

Feticide:
Cambridge dictionary defines Feticide as “the crime of killing a baby that has not yet been born”
Merriam-Webster dictionary defines Feticide as “the act of causing the death of a fetus”
As of March 2023, 40 states in the United States have fetal homicide laws on the books, meaning that the death of an unborn child can be charged as a homicide in addition to any other charges brought against the perpetrator. The specific language of these laws varies from state to state, but they generally define an unborn child as a person from the moment of conception.

When Does Life Start?
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS:
Jeremiah 1:5 (ESV)
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
The MacArthur Study Bible (1997) describes these verse as: “This is not reincarnation; it is God’s all-knowing cognizance of Jeremiah and soverign plan for him before he was CONCEIVED.
Psalms 139:13-16 (AMP)
13 For You formed my innermost parts; You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb.
14 I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was being formed in secret, And intricately and skillfully formed [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were appointed for me,
When as yet there was not one of them [even taking shape].
The MacArthur Study Bible (1997) describes these verses as “God’s power is magnified in the development of human life before birth.”
These verses clearly state that God knew us before we entered our mother’s womb. Divinely and Logically, life begins at conception.
WHAT THE SECULAR WORLD SAYS:
American College of Pediatricians – March 2017, When Human Life Begins
ABSTRACT: The predominance of human biological research confirms that human life begins at conception—fertilization. At fertilization, the human being emerges as a whole, genetically distinct, individuated zygotic living human organism, a member of the species Homo sapiens, needing only the proper environment in order to grow and develop. The difference between the individual in its adult stage and in its zygotic stage is one of form, not nature. This statement focuses on the scientific evidence of when an individual human life begins.
Although the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1965 attempted to redefine “conception” to mean implantation rather than fertilization,4 medical dictionaries and even English language dictionaries both before and after 19665,6 define “conception” as synonymous with fertilization (sometimes via the intermediary term of “fecundation”).7,8,9 Moore’s 1974 edition of a human embryology textbook states that development is a continuous process that begins when an ovum is fertilized by a sperm and ends at death. It is a process of change and growth that transforms the zygote, a single cell, into a multicellular adult human being.10 Moore’s 2008 edition emphasizes that development does not end at birth but extends into early adulthood.1 Professor Emeritus of Human Embryology of the University of Arizona School of Medicine, Dr. C. Ward Kischer, affirms that “Every human embryologist, worldwide, states that the life of the new individual human being begins at fertilization (conception).”11 Even authors who philosophically lean towards not attributing the same value to human life at the one-cell stage as they do to later stages of development admit that “As far as human ‘life’ per se, it is, for the most part, uncontroversial among the scientific and philosophical community that life begins at the moment when the genetic information contained in the sperm and ovum combine to form a genetically unique cell.”12 J.T. Eberl goes on to say – and this is really the debate:
“However, what is controversial is whether this genetically unique cell should be considered a human person.”
Nonetheless, one could sensibly make the case that “personhood” can only exist in a living human being and that the division of these two entities is arbitrary at best.
The Numbers
The most recent data from 2020, Guttmacher Institute Abortion Estimates, indicates the lives of 930,160 babies was taken annually. The CDC reported that 27.1% were performed on Black women.
That is 252,355 black lives taken by Democrats and their voters in a single year
Less than 0.5% of abortion are cases of rape
4% of abortions are due to medical problem with the unborn baby
3% of abortions are due to the health of the mother
This means that 93% of abortions are wholly unjustified and in our opinion, Infanticide/Feticide.
The Choice
The Democrats and the Left ties choice to a woman’s right to control their own bodies and make their own decisions about their reproductive health. We support this statement up until the point another life is involved. So, the choice is not whether to kill the child in her womb. The choice is made when females of child bearing age chooses to have unprotected sex or not use contraception.
Pregnancy is 100% preventable using abstinence as a contraceptive method. This method 100% protects you from catching a sexually transmitted disease (STD) such as AID, Herpes, Gonorrhea, and other painful and potentially life altering STDs. Outside of the abstinence contraceptive method, the National Institute of Health states:
“5% of unplanned pregnancies were in women whose contraceptive method was used correctly.”
Stated another way, 95% of unwanted or unplanned pregnancies are preventable when a female of child bearing age CHOOSES to use contraception properly. This is the choice, to use contraceptives properly, women should be held to with the exception of Rape (1%), Incest (0.5%), Health of the Mother (11%). – SOURCE: 2019 Guttmacher Institute
CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR CHOICE:
Should a woman choose not to use contraceptives properly or abstain from sex, she should be required to carry the baby to term unless the afore mentioned exceptions apply.
Options For An Unwanted Baby
Democrats and their voters believe that DEATH is an option for a healthy unwanted baby. They lie to themselves by using the word “choice,” but it is clear they are pronouncing “death” on the defenseless. A compassionate and humane conscious is, was, a core primal characteristic of humanity that has somehow been lost on much of today’s American society. Even the wild beasts of the fields and forests protect to the death their offspring. Sadly, Americans are killing ~930,160 healthy babies annually!
- Adoption: Adoption is the process by which a person or couple legally takes on the responsibility of raising and caring for a child who is not biologically their own. It allows the child to be placed with loving and capable caregivers while still allowing the birth parents to make an active choice in the child’s future.
- Foster Care: In cases where parents may not be able to provide a stable environment for their child, fostering can be considered. Foster parents provide temporary care for children while the biological parents work towards resolving their issues or while a more permanent solution is determined.
- Co-Parenting or Shared Custody: In situations where the parents are not in a committed relationship but are willing to share parenting responsibilities, co-parenting or shared custody arrangements can be considered. These arrangements typically involve legal agreements and shared parenting responsibilities.
- Parenting with Support: Some individuals may feel overwhelmed by the prospect of parenting but may be willing to consider it with additional support. This support can come from family, friends, support groups, counseling, and community resources.
- Kinship Care: If you have relatives who are willing and able to care for the child, kinship care can be an option. It involves a family member, such as a grandparent or aunt/uncle, taking on the role of caregiver.
- Temporary Guardianship: In certain situations, temporary guardianship can be established, allowing someone else to take care of the child for a specific period while the birth parent(s) address their circumstances or make long-term decisions.
- Abortion Alternatives Counseling: Many organizations and clinics offer counseling and support services to help individuals explore their options and make informed decisions about pregnancy. These services often include information about parenting, adoption, and abortion.

Ephesians 6:4 (NIV): “Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.” This verse encourages parents to treat their children with care and provide them with godly guidance.
Proverbs 22:6 (NIV): “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it.” This verse emphasizes the importance of raising children with a strong moral foundation.
Psalm 127:3 (ESV): “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.” This passage teaches that children are a gift from God, and that they should be cherished and protected.
