Does the language of abortion really “liberate” women?
The word many in our society use when speaking about a baby in the womb changes according to whether that baby will be carried to term and born, or whether that baby will be murdered along the way. A lexicon with double standards has emerged….
WebMD uses the term “baby” to describe an 8-week old fetus. A caption for one of the developmental pictures… reads:
Development at 8 Weeks: The baby is now a little over half an inch in size. Eyelids and ears are forming, and you can see the tip of the nose. The arms and legs are well formed. The fingers and toes grow longer and more distinct.
… Now contrast th[at] WebMD language… to their… section on surgical abortion, [where] they write:
A surgical abortion ends a pregnancy by surgically removing the contents of the uterus.
There is no longer a “baby” in the uterus. It has become “contents” to be removed. In this way, the language is manipulated to distance the woman and those who work in the abortion industry from the reality of what abortion means….
Then there is the degenerate language used in the abortion industry. Dr. Leroy Carhart is documented in an undercover video referring to the dead baby in the womb prior to having labor induced as “meat in a Crock Pot.”…
Is this really what women had in mind when they envisioned “liberation?” To sit across the desk from a doctor who refers to their developing baby as “meat in a Crock Pot” and not to worry because, if need be, he can “take it out in pieces?”
You’ve come a very long way, baby. And gone too far.

Well, as Melissa Harris-Perrry, would tell us, it’s only a baby if you feel it is. I suppose Carol Brown didn’t get the memo or something. :)
JDC,
Didn’t you know that uteri give women special powers and abilities, like being able to re-write basic science on a whim? It’s pretty awesome when the universe revolves around your vagina.
Hey there, Crazy Lady with the Crazy Sign! Let’s talk about science a bit. You trust science, right? So no religion or philosophy here:
If the life that is developing in the womb of the human mother is not a human child — then what is it?
What is it, really? If you asked a scientist or a physician?
When you were at exactly that stage of development, what were you? Were you a Homo sapiens then?
Oh, Del. You silly. Dontcha know we all start out as parasitic tadpoles?
The woman in the photo is young and doesn’t need to kill her own to have a fulfilling life!!
I am praying for those caught in the deception.
The father of lies is working overtime.
I would totally love to stand next to the women with the crazy sign and hold up a sign by abolish human abortion. The one that shows a baby at about 10 weeks with the words “I am not a clump of cells”
Ugh, I think I may have added an unnecessary comma to my first comment up there. All well.
Sydney,
Me too!! You counter lies with TRUTH!!
So, I gotta say there is one refreshing thing about the last week of pro-choice antics: They have finally, publicly admitted that they don’t know and don’t care about biology and science.
Pro-lifers, you are some of the finest cell-clumps I’ve ever met!
Nor is a baby a ‘clump of cells.’ What’s your point lady?
My daughter brought up an interesting point the other day. She said most of her prochoice friends, as they are now having babies of their own, are turning either fully prolife, or at least now favoring greatly restricting abortion.
Personally, I cannot understand how a woman can carry a little life inside her for nine months, feel him/her kick and move, hold that newborn in her arms, and still be for abortion.
Anyone see the yellow sign in the background? “Pro choice the random idea that women are people.” But not before they are born apparently!
My sign would say “pro life the random idea that ALL humans are people”

Lol Alexandra I like that one. This one is my favorite though: http://imgur.com/ZqH3Mam
Thanks, Jack and Alexandra! Those were really funny! :)
I hate to confuse you with facts, but open up a biology book. You are a clump of cells!
When we are first conceived, Mary. You know how babies are made. That is the only time we’re “clumps of cells”. As we develop in as little as a week, we become a human being. So really, life does really begin at conception.
