Merriam-Webster Says Abortion is Murder

Merriam-Webster Dictionary Says that abortion is:

1: the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus: as a: spontaneous expulsion of a human fetus during the first 12 weeks of gestation

When reading this definition the word termination sticks out. Let’s define termination

1: end in time or existence

Wow, the end of an existence. Now the definition of abortion also states that it is the DEATH of the embryo or fetus. To die, wouldn’t that mean it were alive? Also it states that it is “spontaneous expulsion of a human fetus”. Wow, it is human after all.

Let’s try the word existence.

C (1): the totality of existent things

(2): a particular being

d: sentient or living being

Now we know what a living being is. We can understand what a particular being means. What about the word sentient?

1: responsive to or conscious of sense impressions

2: AWARE

3: finely sensitive in perception or feeling

So then it would be aware, responsive to or conscious of sense impressions. (That doesn’t mean that the embryo can read, write or breathe on its own. It means it can sense impressions.) I like the word aware also. But how about “finely sensitive in perception or feeling”? We obviously cannot prove that by just looking up words in the dictionary, can we?

Now let’s try Merriam-Webster’s Medical Dictionary on abortion.

 1: the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus: a: spontaneous expulsion of a human fetus during the first 12 weeks of gestation b: induced expulsion of a human fetus c: expulsion of a fetus of a domestic animal often due to infection at any time before completion of pregnancy

The animals do this because of an infection. Hmm. Now we are still seeing the word termination. We are still seeing the word death. And the phrase induced expulsion of a HUMAN fetus sounds rather, I don’t know, unnatural. Let’s look up the word induced.

1: to cause or bring about : as a (1): to cause the embryological formation of (2): to cause to form through embryonic induction b: to cause or initiate by artificial means

Obviously we are seeing a lot of the word “caused” in this definition. I am not going to define cause for you but if you want to look it up click here.

So to cause, or induce, is to act or participate in a procedure. (When performing an abortion.) To induce something you must be doing an action that causes that action to be done. Now remember, an abortion means termination. Inducing an abortion means you are terminating the embryo. The medical definition of embryo is:

1archaic: a vertebrate at any stage of development prior to birth or hatching2: an animal in the early stages of growth and differentiation that are characterized by cleavage, the laying down of fundamental tissues, and the formation of primitive organs and organ systems; especially: the developing human individual from the time of implantation to the end of the eighth week after conception

So inducing an abortion and terminating an abortion is the same thing. An embryo dies during this process. The embryo is in fact a “developing human individual from the time of implantation” and with it being a “human individual” that means it is in fact alive and human. So…

Inducing an abortion is terminating a human individual. What do we call it when someone terminates another person? Murder. What do we call it when someone kills a bunch of people? Serial killings. (Like Charles Manson) What do we call it when a lot of human beings are killed for a selfish reason? Genocide.

To wrap it up, thanks to the wisdom and knowledge of Merriam-Webster, we have successfully concluded that, by definition alone, abortion is murder. Those who provide it (or induce it) are murders. Those who do it a lot are serial killers. And since there are a massive amount of these going on that means it is genocide.
