A Person’s a Person

The Child

In the womb there are milestones that the unborn baby reaches. Day eighteen of the child’s growth it’s heart begins to beat, Day 21 it pumps it own blood through its body, At 4 weeks from conception, a baby’s eye, ear, and respiratory systems begin to form. A baby’s brainwaves can be detected at 6 weeks from conception. At 8 weeks from conception, a baby’s heartbeat can be detected by a stethoscope. By 9 weeks from conception, a baby is able to bend her fingers around an object in her hand. By 11 to 12 weeks the baby is breathing fluid steadily, can swallow and continues to do so until birth.

Types of Abortion

Now I’d like explain each of the three forms of abortion used in America.

The first is Dilation and Curettage – this procedure is when the cervix is dilated and the endometrial lining of the uterus is scraped with a curette then the remains of the baby are removed.

 
The second Suction and Aspiration – A method of abortion performed during the first trimester of pregnancy, in which the contents of the uterus (the baby) are sucked out through a high suction narrow tube.

The third is Saline Poisoning – salt water is injected into the womb. The baby inhales it and swallows it and is poisoned by it. Salt is abrasive and corrosive, so the baby can also be burned by it, leaving the skin red and raw looking. It is sad that a person can get 1 month to 40 years in jail for not feeding a dog but for the killing of an innocent baby there is no punishment.

The Effects On Our Nation

According to Life Matters Outreach, during the course of a year 2 million new adoption requests are given to adoption agencies and go unanswered. This is sad seeing as there are 1.2 million babies aborted every year, when there is a home waiting for each of them. Because of abortion we have lost so much as a nation, We could have lost the person who was destined to find the cure for cancer, or maybe even the person who would figure out how to sustain life on the mars, or maybe the person who was supposed to be your best friend. Ronald Regan said,” It seems the only people rallying for abortion are those were given the chance to live.” This is true on all accounts.

In conclusion, As everyone in the book Horton and the Whos, they were ready to kill those tiny people by the ones and by the twos. They did not believe that they were really there, much like today they believe there’s no baby in there. So take up your gear and man your stations, please join me and fight for the next generation.

“Should I put this speck down…” Horton thought with alarm.
“If I do, these small persons may come to great harm.
I can’t put it down. And I won’t! After all
A person’s a person. No matter how small.”
