FACT #1: EVERY ABORTION KILLS AN INNOCENT HUMAN BEING.

Every new life begins at conception. This is an irrefutable fact of biology. It
is true for animals and true for humans. When considered alongside the law of
biogenesis – that every species reproduces after its own kind – we can draw only
one conclusion in regard to abortion: every single abortion ends the life of an
innocent human being.

FACT #2: EVERY HUMAN BEING IS A PERSON.

Personhood is properly defined by membership in the human species, not by stage
of development within that species. A living being’s designation to a species is
determined not by the stage of development but by the sum total of its
biological characteristics.

FACT #3: BEGINNING AT CONCEPTION, EVERY PREGNANCY INVOLVES TWO OR MORE BODIES.

No matter how you spin it, women don’t have four arms and four legs when they’re
pregnant. Those extra appendages belong to the tiny human being(s) living inside
of them. At no point in pregnancy is the developing embryo or fetus simply a
part of the mother’s body.

Read More



FACT #4: IT IS JUST, REASONABLE, AND NECESSARY FOR SOCIETY TO OUTLAW CERTAIN
CHOICES.

Any civilized society restricts the individual’s freedom to choose whenever that
choice would harm an innocent person. Therefore, it is impossible to justify
abortion by simply arguing that women should be “free to choose.”

Read More



FACT #5: THE RIGHT TO NOT BE KILLED SUPERSEDES THE RIGHT TO NOT BE PREGNANT.

The comparison between a baby’s rights and a mother’s rights is unequal. What is
at stake in abortion is the mother’s lifestyle, as opposed to the baby’s life.
Therefore, it is reasonable for society to expect an adult to live temporarily
with an inconvenience if the only alternative is killing a child.

Read More



FACT #6: POVERTY, RAPE, DISABILITY, OR “UNWANTEDNESS” DO NOT MORALLY JUSTIFY
ABORTION.

There are all sorts of circumstances that people point to as justification for
their support of abortion. Since none of these circumstances are sufficient to
justify the killing of human beings after birth, they’re not sufficient to
justify the killing of human beings before birth.

Read More



FACT #7: THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EMBRYOS AND ADULTS ARE DIFFERENCES OF DEGREE
NOT OF KIND.

Like toddler and adolescent, the terms “embryo” and “fetus” do not refer to
nonhumans but to humans at particular stages of development. Human beings inside
the womb are smaller, less developed, and more dependent than human beings
outside the womb. These are differences of degree, not differences of kind. We
can all point to other people who are bigger, stronger, smarter, or less
dependent than we are, but that doesn’t make our life any less valuable or any
less deserving of protection.

Read More



FACT #8: LESS THAN 1% OF ALL ABORTIONS ARE PERFORMED TO SAVE THE LIFE OF THE
MOTHER.

It is an extremely rare case when abortion is required to save the mother’s
life. Of course, when two lives are threatened and only one can be saved,
doctors must always save that life. However, abortion for the mother’s life and
abortion for the mother’s health are usually not the same issue. Since every
abortion kills an innocent human being, it is morally abhorrent to use the rare
cases when abortion is necessary to save the life of the mother as justification
for the millions of on demand “convenience” abortions.

Read More



FACT #9: TO BE ONLY “PERSONALLY PRO-LIFE” IS TO NOT BE PRO-LIFE AT ALL.

If abortion doesn’t kill children, why would someone be opposed to it? If it
does kill children, why would someone defend another’s right to do it? Being
personally against abortion but favoring another’s right to abortion is
self-contradictory and morally baffling.

Read More



FACT #10: IF THERE IS UNCERTAINTY ABOUT WHEN HUMAN LIFE BEGINS, THE BENEFIT OF
THE DOUBT SHOULD GO TO PRESERVING LIFE.

It is a scientific fact that life begins at conception. However, if one
personally has even a shred of uncertainty about when life begins, then they are
still morally obligated to err on the side of life and NOT have an abortion.
Why? Because to make a mistake about the exact time when life begins is to kill
an innocent human being.

Read More



FACT #11: ABORTION IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN CHILDBIRTH.

Not only does every abortion kill an innocent human being in the womb; but
abortion is also more dangerous to the mother than if she were to give birth to
the child. The evidence overwhelmingly proves that the morbidity and mortality
rates of legal abortion are several times higher than that for carrying a
pregnancy to term.

Read More



FACT #12: PRIOR TO ABORTION’S LEGALIZATION, 90% OF ABORTIONS WERE DONE BY
DOCTORS, NOT BY “COAT HANGERS IN BACK ALLEYS.”

Some justify abortion on the claim that if it is outlawed, women will abort
anyway and may die in the process. There are 3 problems with this hypothesis.
First, it doesn’t address the ethics of abortion. Second, laws against abortion
would deter most women from having one. Third, there is no evidence that illegal
abortions are more dangerous than legal abortions. Of course, even if the “coat
hanger” argument was true (it’s not), then it’s still morally ridiculous to
legalize procedures that kill innocent babies just to make the killing
procedures less dangerous to the mother.

Read More



FACT #13: THE 8 WEEK+ UNBORN BABY FEELS REAL PHYSICAL PAIN DURING AN ABORTION.

Yes, every abortion kills an innocent human being. Even more alarming is the
fact that beginning at the 8th week of development, an unborn baby that is
aborted feels pain during the abortion. The baby feels both psychological and
real physical, organic pain. Let that sink in. Of course, whether or not
abortion is a painful experience to the unborn child being aborted, the child is
left no less dead as a result. In talking about the question of fetal pain, we
must remember that it ultimately has no bearing on the morality of abortion.

Read More



FACT #14: ABORTION IS CONDEMNABLE FOR THE SAME REASONS THAT SLAVERY AND GENOCIDE
ARE.

Networks of killing centers across the globe are eliminating “unwanted, unborn”
children at a staggering rate. Were the context not abortion, the world would be
outraged. Call it what you want, when an innocent group of human beings is
targeted and exterminated by the millions, that is an injustice on par with any
of history’s most egregious atrocities. At the end of the day, if the unborn are
people (and they are), then abortion is not only comparable to past crimes
against humanity but is also, by sheer volume, the greatest holocaust of all.

Read More



FACT #15: ABORTION IS NOT A “WOMEN’S ONLY” ISSUE.

Abortion affects both men and women. Beyond that, abortion is a human issue, not
a gender issue. If abortion kills innocent human life (it does), then everyone,
male and female, should stand against it. One doesn’t need to be a young girl to
take a position against the sex trafficking of young girls, and one doesn’t need
to be a woman to take a position against abortion.

Read More



FACT #16: EVERY LEGAL SURGICAL ABORTION STOPS A BEATING HEART AND TERMINATES
MEASURABLE BRAIN WAVES.

What do we call it when a person no longer has a heartbeat or brain waves?
Death. It’s a scientific fact that life begins at conception, but even more
obvious; what should we call it when there is a heartbeat and there are brain
waves? Life. It is an indisputable fact that each and every legal surgical
abortion in America today stops a beating heart and stops already measurable
brain waves.

Read More



FACT #17: THE RIGHT TO NOT BE KILLED SUPERSEDES THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY.

Some defend abortion by claiming that they have a right to privacy. Whether they
have an abortion or not is between them and their doctor. Everyone else should
stay out of their business. Of course, if abortion kills an innocent human being
(it does), then killing done in private is no more acceptable than killing done
in public; and the encouragement or assistance of a doctor does not change the
nature, consequences, or morality of abortion.

Read More



FACT #18: ABORTION DISPROPORTIONALLY TARGETS MINORITY BABIES.

Whatever the intent of the abortion industry may be, by functional standards,
abortion is a racist institution. In the United States, black children are
aborted at 5 times the rate of white children and Hispanic children don’t fare
much better. Abortion is the leading cause of death among black Americans. We
can debate the racial intent of Planned Parenthood past and present, but we
cannot debate the results. Abortion is by no means an equal opportunity killer.

Read More



FACT #19: ABORTION HAS BECOME A FORM OF GENDERCIDE, SHRINKING THE GLOBAL FEMALE
POPULATION AT AN ALARMING RATE.

On top of the fact that every abortion kills an innocent human being, abortion
has also become the driving force in eliminating females around the globe.
Estimates put the global gender gap somewhere between 100 and 200 million
people. Abortion has become the most effective means of sexism ever devised,
ridding the world of multitudes of unwanted females.

Read More



FACT #20: LAWS CONCERNING ABORTION HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCED WHETHER WOMEN
CHOOSE TO HAVE ABORTIONS.

Some will concede that every abortion kills an innocent human being. They will
also concede that society has a right to outlaw choices that harm innocent human
beings. But even after conceding those points, some still do not favor more
stringent abortion laws because they think that they don’t really work – there
would still be too many abortions. Historical data, common morality, and basic
legal theory prove this line of thinking to be false.
