(Deu 27:25
KJV)
Cursed be he that taketh reward to
slay an innocent person.
And all the people shall say,
Amen.
(John 10:10
KJV)
Jesus said: The thief
cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
I am come that they might
have life,
and that they might have it more
abundantly.
Facts about the
development of the human fetus (ie. pre-born human baby)
The scientific viewpoint on the
issue. Many people try to claim that the unborn is just a blob of tissue,
nothing more than a tumor. But it is a scientific and medical fact, based on
experimental evidence, that the fetus is a living, growing, thriving human
being, directing his or her own development. The unborn baby is never part of
the mother's body.
"Either the fetus is a person or
not. Either we know what it is or we don't. This leaves only 4 possibilities:
Abortion
might be three things-- murder, manslaughter, or criminal negligence-- each of
which is not debated but instinctively condemned. --Choices, by Peter Kreeft
- By the end of the second week of pregnancy, there is a distinct embryo present. The fetus has a developing brain and a rudimentary heart.
- By the end of the third week of pregnancy, the fetus has the beginnings of vetrebrae, developing eyes and ears, a closed circulatory system (separate from the mother's), a working heart, the beginnings of lungs, and budding limbs.
- By the end of the fourth week of pregnancy, the fetus has a developing nose, and a pancreas.
- By the end of the fifth week of pregnancy, the fetus has the beginnings of vertebrae, a bony jaw and clavicle, developing eyes, ears, and nose, a closed circulatory system, a working heart, lungs, limbs, hands, feet, and a pancreas.
- By the end of the sixth week of pregnancy, the fetus has a vertebral column, a bony jaw and clavicle, a primative cranium, ribs, a developing nervous system, a closed circulatory system with a working heart, developing eyes, ears, and nose, lungs, limbs, hands, feet, a pancreas, a bladder, kidneys, a tongue, a larynx, a thyroid body, and germs of teeth.
- By the end of the seventh week of pregnancy, the fetus has a vertebral column, a bony jaw and clavicle, a primitive cranium, ribs, femur, tibia, palate, upper jaw, developing nervous system, a closed circulatory system with a working heart, developing eyes,ears, and nose, lungs, arms, legs, hands, feet, a pancreas, a bladder, kidneys, a tongue, a larynx, a thyroid body, germs of teeth, and the beginnings of muscles.
- By the end of the second month of pregnancy, the fetus has a vertebral column, a bony jaw, clavicle, and palate, a cranium, ribcage, femur, tibia, forearms that can be distinguished from arms, and thighs that can be distinguished from legs, a developi ng nervous sytem, sympathetic nerves (meaning the fetus can feel pain), a closed circulatory system and a working heart, eyes, developing ears and nose, lungs, arms and forearms, legs and thighs, hands and feet, a pancreas, a bladder, kidneys, a tongue, a larynx, a thyroid, germs of teeth, and developing muscles. --Gray's Anatomy
Assorted facts:
- After 9 weeks, unborn babies can feel pain, yet 48 per cent of all abortions are done after this point (US Department of Health and Human Services).
- The fetus has his/her own genetic code, blood type, sex. The fetus receives food from his/her mother, yet has a separate and distinct circulatory system.
- "The cell (a single-celled zygote) results from fertilization of an oocyte by a sperm and is the beginning of human life." -The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology Keith L. Moore. 2nd Ed., Philadelphia W.B. Sanders, 1977.
- "Each individual has a very neat beginning at conception.... [This is] not a metaphysical contention, it is plain experimental evidence." -Dr. Jerome LeJune, discoverer of the chromosome pattern of Down's syndrome in 1981, in a testimony to a Senat e Judiciary Subcommittee.
- "By all the criteria of modern molecular biology, life is present from the moment of conception." -Professor Hymie Gordon, Mayo Clinic.
- Since abortion was legalized in 1973, the number of reported cases of child abuse has increased by 1,497 per cent, from 167,000 in 1973 to 2.5 million in 1991 (US Department of Health & Human Services).
- USC professor Edward Lenoski from Heartbeat surveyed 674 abused children and found 91 per cent were from planned pregnancies. An average of 63 per cent of all pregnancies are wanted.
- "Scientists have found hints of consciousness in 7-month-old fetuses and measured brain-wave patterns like those during dreaming during 8 months. They have pushed sentience back to the end of the second trimester and shown that fetuses can learn. With no hype at all, the fetus can rightly be called a marvel of cognition, consciousness, and sentience." --"Do You Hear What I Hear?" Newsweek Special Issue, Summer 1991
- "After 28 weeks in utero, the fetus can hear.... By four months in a female fetus, all 5 million ova have formed. At 4 & 1/2 months, the fetus responds to a brush on its lips by sucking. By six weeks the brain is visible and electrically active; by eight, it has convoluted folds and shape of an adult brain." --"Do You Hear What I Hear?" Newsweek Special Issue, Summer 1991
- The following quotes are from pages
1 and 3 of The Developing Human: Clinically Orientated Embryology. 5th Ed.
Moore and Persaud. 1993. Saunders Company.
- "Human development is a continuous process that begins when an oocyte from a female is fertilized by a sperm from a male."
- "Although it is coustomary to divide human development into prenatal and postnatal periods, it is important to realize that birth is merely a dramatic event during development resulting in a change in environment."
- "Human development begins at fertilization."
- A fetus is not a person, and we know that. This has NEVER been any evidence to support this.
- A fetus is a person, and we know that.Killing an innocent person knowingly is murder.
- A fetus is a person, and we do not know that. Killing a person without knowing or intending to is manslaughter. It's like shooting at a sudden movement in a bush which may be a deer or another hunter.
- A fetus is not a person, and we do not know that. If the hunter didn't know for sure and shot anyway, it is criminal negligence, even if no one was killed.

ponder--

Primm-
(Isa 44:2 KJV)
Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from
the womb,
which will help thee;
(Psa 139:13-18
KJV)
For thou hast possessed my
reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
{14} I will praise thee; for I am
fearfully and wonderfully made:
marvellous are thy works; and that
my soul knoweth right well.
{15} My substance was not hid from
thee, when I was made in secret,
and curiously wrought in the
lowest parts of the earth.
{16} Thine eyes did see my
substance, yet being unperfect;
and in thy book all my members
were written,
which in continuance were
fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
{17} How precious also are thy
thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
{18} If I should count them, they
are more in number than the sand:
when I awake, I am still with
thee.
(Psa 127:3-5 KJV)
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD:
and
the fruit of the womb is his reward.
{4}
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
{5}
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them:
they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the
enemies in the gate.
(Psa 82:2-4 KJV)
How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the
wicked? Selah.
{3}
Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
{4}
Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the
wicked.
(Jer 1:4-5 KJV)
Then the word of the
LORD came unto me, saying,
{5} Before I formed
thee in the belly I knew thee;
and before thou camest
forth out of the womb I sanctified thee,
and I ordained thee a
prophet unto the nations.
(Gen 25:21-26 KJV)
And Isaac
entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren:
and the LORD was
entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
{22} And the children
struggled together within her;
and she said, If it be
so, why am I thus?
And she went to inquire
of the LORD. {23} And the LORD said unto her,
Two nations are in thy
womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels;
and the one people
shall be stronger than the other people;
and the elder shall
serve the younger.
{24} And when her days
to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her
womb.
{25} And the
first came out red, all over like an hairy garment;
and they called his
name Esau.
{26} And after that
came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel;
and his name was called
Jacob:
and Isaac was
threescore years old when she bare them.
(Exo 21:22-25
KJV)
If men strive,
and hurt a woman with child,
so that her fruit
depart from her, and yet no mischief follow:
he shall be surely
punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon
him;
and he shall pay
as the judges determine.
{23} And if any
mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
{24} Eye for eye, tooth
for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
{25} Burning for
burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
(Prov 24:11-12 KJV)
If thou forbear to
deliver them that are drawn unto death,
and those that are
ready to be slain;
{12} If thou sayest,
Behold, we knew it not;
doth not he that
pondereth the heart consider it?
and he that keepeth thy
soul, doth not he know it?
and shall not he render
to every man according to his works?
(Jer 7:6-7 KJV)
If ye oppress not the
stranger, the fatherless, and the widow,
and shed not innocent
blood in this place,
neither walk after
other gods to your hurt:
{7} Then will I
cause you to dwell in this place,
in the land that I gave
to your fathers, for ever and ever.
(Isa 49:1-5 KJV)
Listen, O isles, unto
me; and hearken, ye people, from far;
The LORD hath called me
from the womb;
from the bowels
of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
(Gal 1:15-16a KJV)
But when it pleased
God,
who separated me from
my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
{16} To reveal
his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen;
(Talking about John the Baptist,)
"(Luke 1:13-15 KJV)
But the angel
said unto him,
Fear not,
Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard;
and thy wife Elisabeth
shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
{14} And thou
shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
{15} For he shall be
great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink;
and he shall be filled
with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
