Introduction
and the Word of God:
Abortion
is the most controversial issue on the American scene in this century. Abortion
carries overtones of politics, health, law, religion, and even economics. One
group claims a baby has the right to life from the point of conception onward
and that abortion is murder. The other group screams a woman will not be denied
the right to choose what is done with her body. And on and on it goes.
| Before
saying any more, let's all come to a screeching halt and listen to what God has
to say about when life begins, as He spoke through the Psalmist, King David.
For
you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise
you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know
that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret
place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my
unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one
of them came to be. Psalms

The
right of informed consent
Right
to life? Right to choose? The most important right of all parties involved in
a pending abortion is the right of the parents and other involved family members
to make this life or death decision with full informed consent. This website is
dedicated to providing critical and truthful information so this decision can
be made in the light of all the critical facts.
Fact
1: Your baby is a living human organism from the point of conception until death
The
most important fact in the entire abortion debate is that a baby is alive from
the point of conception onward. Modern medical science surrounding ultrasound
and sonograms has made this issue a literal fact. King David had no knowledge
of ultrasound and sonograms but God revealed to him the true facts in the matter.
Today, no thinking persons, including theologians, politicians, and scientists,
who are interested in truth on any issue, can ignore this fact. The primary difference
between a fetus and a newborn baby is that an unborn fetus gets oxygen from the
mother's circulatory system via the umbilical cord and a newborn baby gets it
from environmental air.

What
is prenatal ultrasound?
Prenatal ultrasound uses sound waves to create
a picture of your fetus (baby) on a special TV screen. This picture is called
a sonogram. It gives your clinician information about the structure, size and
movement of your fetus as well as the number of fetuses and the location of the
placenta. Certain pictures are printed onto film and checked by a specialist.
It is recommended that all pregnant women be offered an ultrasound in their 18th
week of pregnancy as a part of routine prenatal care.
Is
prenatal ultrasound safe?
Prenatal ultrasound has been used for more
than 25 years. There does not appear to be any danger for either the mother or
fetus from ultrasound. No radiation is used.

This is a fascinating, multimedia website that puts to rest the
myth that there is no life before birth. This is a very memory-intensive program
that takes a fairly long time to load at 56K. If your computer equipment can't
handle this website or you don't care to wait for the loading, the following outline
will give you major highlights.
The
growth pattern described here is recognized medical information and is fully documented
by scientific research.
Day
20: Foundations of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system are already established.
Day
21: The heart begins to beat.
Day
28: The backbone and muscles are forming. Arms, legs, eyes and ears have begun
to show.
Day
30: The heart is pumping increasing quantities of blood through the circulatory
system.
Day
35: Five fingers can be discerned in the hand. The eyes darken as pigment is produced.
Day
40: Brain waves can be detected and recorded.
Day
42: The liver is now taking over the production of blood cells and the brain begins
to control movement of muscles and organs.
Week
7: The embryo begins to move spontaneously. The jaw forms, including teeth buds
in the gums.
Week
8: At a little more than an inch long, the developing life is now called a fetus--
Latin for young one or offspring. Everything is now present that will be found
in a fully developed adult. The stomach produces digestive juices and the kidneys
have begun to function. The fetus' body responds to touch, although the mother
will not be able to feel movement until the fourth or fifth month.
Week
9: The fetus can squint, swallow, and wrinkle its forehead.
Week
11: The fetus is about two inches long. Urination occurs.
Week
12: The fetus now sleeps, awakens and exercises its muscles energetically-- turning
its head, curling its toes, and opening and closing its mouth. The palm, when
stroked, will make a tight fist.
Week
13: By now, you can tell if it's a boy or a girl.
Month
5: The ears are functioning and there is evidence that the fetus hears quite a
bit-- such as the mother's voice and heartbeat, as well as external noises.
Month
6: If the baby were born in this month and given the proper care, he or she would
survive.
This
information has been provided as a public service, in support of the scientific
fact that life begins at the point of conception.
Fact
2: Even if you don't care to raise your baby, many parents are praying for a baby
to adopt
Parable:
Someone gave our family a brand new luxury car with every accessory listed in
the owner's manual. It was equipped with a V/8 engine and wasn't exactly an economy
car. And, it was so long, we can't get the garage door down. Since it was such
a gas guzzler and we had no place to store it, we decided our family couldn't
afford this luxury car. Therefore, I parked it at the edge of a cliff, put it
in neutral, and pushed it onto the rocks, 100 feet below.
Pretty
stupid of me, right?

didn't I advertise
it on eBay as free to the first licensed driver?

Story of an Illegitimate Baby Born in 1939
Written
by Stephen R. Duggan, PE
After living in a series of foster homes, I was adopted at the age of four. I
now am a Registered Professional Engineer in Minnesota, have a Masters Degree
in electrical engineering, and have 17 patents.
One
of those patents is for the first digitally-controlled adaptable cardiac pacemaker.
Each year on Memorial Day I visit the graves
of both my birth mother and my adopted mother. I
am glad to be alive. I am married and have four wonderful children and two grandchildren.

Let's
say you have the right to choose. Let's even say you have the right to control
your own body. But, Why kill your own flesh and blood?

you're pregnant and don't want your baby, don't push it off a cliff! Click this

Of course,
it takes more intestinal fortitude to adopt than to abort. When you abort, you
just have to sign a form, make arrangements to pay the bill, and surrender yourself
to the anesthetic.
When
you adopt, you have to be willing to do the following:
-
Take
good care of yourself and the baby during the first 9 months.
-
Make
sure you have the full agreement of all involved family members.
-
Covenant
with yourself and all family members that this adoption will be totally anonymous.
After all, if you were considering aborting your baby, you had to be willing to
never see or touch the baby or even know the sex. Instead of flushing your baby
down the four-inch pipe, you will be surrendering him/her to two pairs of loving
arms.
- Never
look back and never make any attempt to contact the baby until he/she is 21 years
old. Even then, it is not necessary.

Fact 3: If you do select
abortion instead of life, you may grow to regret it
Not all
women who have abortions are affected in the same way. Some seem to have no regrets
about choosing abortion and have no apparent signs of emotional or physical aftereffects.
Other women may feel some remorse or regret which they try to shut down. After
all, they chose that legal, safe procedure, so why should they feel so badly?
Some clues that a woman might have some post-abortion remorse or regret are:
-
Struggling to turn off feelings and memories connected to the abortion
-
When
abortion is mentioned in public, having a physical reaction, such as tightening
stomach muscles, clenching jaw, or holding breath
-
Not
wanting to talk about it, even in the most abstract way
-
-
-
Uncomfortable
around pregnant women or babies
-
Depressed,
sick or accident-prone at certain times of the year that coincide with the anniversary
date of the abortion or the month in which the baby would have been born.

THE
STATE OF ADOPTION IN AMERICA
From THE PASTOR'S WEEKLY BRIEFING,
Vol. 11, No. 36 -- September 5, 2003
"Adopted children are more likely to have parents who are older, married,
wealthier and more educated than children raised by biological parents,"
according to a special report released last month [August, 2003] by the U.S. Census
Bureau. The report, "Adopted Children and Stepchildren: 2000" (www.census.gov/prod/2003pubs/censr-6.pdf),
was based on data from the long form of the 2000 Census, which, for the first
time, asked households to identify children in the home as adopted, natural-born
or stepchildren.
The study revealed that 2.1 million adopted children and 4.4 million stepchildren
lived in US homes in 2000. Together, these children represented approximately
eight percent of the 84 million children in US households in 2000. Of the adopted
children living at home, 1.6 million were under 18.
Other highlights of
the report:
-
Only
13 percent of adopted children were born outside the US
-
International adoptions
increased from 7,000 in 1990 to nearly 18,000 in 2000.
-
Nearly half (48 percent)
of the foreign-born adopted children were born in Asia, with 57,000 (22 percent)
coming from Korea alone.
-
Thirty-three
percent of adopted children were born in Latin America and 16 percent in Europe.
-
Of
households with an adopted child, 76 percent list their race as white, 15 percent
African American, and Asians and other races make up the difference.
It
is significant that the Census is even asking about adoption. "Clearly, adoption
is alive and well in America today," said Thomas Atwood, president of the
National Council for Adoption. "No adopted child should feel alone."
