Slogans

  • Life is a gift, not a choice.
  • "Abortion stops a beating heart." – only if the embryo is old enough to have one (apparently happens sometime during the 5th to 8th weeks of pregnancy), and so does capital punishment, eating meat (until vat-grown meat is available, anyway), hunting (for sport or food)...

(ACCORDING TO MEDICAL AND SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE THE HEART IS IN PLACE AND BATING AT *3* WEEKS AFTER CONCEPTION)

  • "Your mother chose life." Not everyone is happy with this, despite popular assumption.
  • "Abortion: the worst kind of child abuse." Killing an entity with no nerves, much less consciousness, is worse than child abuse?

  • 2007-11-06 A Fresh Challenge to the Religious Right's View of Abortion by Frederick Clarkson: according to a new book by Gary Willis, "Much of the debate over abortion is based on a misconception, that this is a religious issue, that the pro-life advocates are acting out of religious conviction. It is not a theological matter at all. There is no theological basis for either defending or condemning abortion. Even the popes have said that it is a matter of natural law, to be decided by natural reason."
