A woman may hear it in the abortion clinic, but not in public, where it may be called to account. There are several reasons. Scientific evidence has shown that the fetus has all the crucial genetic elements of human life. These are simply irrelevant, because they all apply to the newborn outside the womb too. And ultrasound makes this clearer every day.
Doctors treat the unborn as legitimate patients just as they do the born children.
The insistence of President Clinton and others to keep the partial birth abortion procedure legal shows that the basis of their position is not that the unborn are not human. Here we are talking about children that are within four inches of qualifying for the right to life, and yet are legally killed. So you rarely hear anymore, in public, that the basis of legal abortion is that the fetus is not a human life and a real developing human person. There are fetal homicide laws that stand as a stunning testimony in our culture that it is a crime to kill an unborn baby if the mother doesn't want you to. Yet abortion laws say it is not a crime to kill the same baby if the mother wants you to.
