The picture below is a fetus at 18 weeks old, one week before viability (ability to survive without being in the mother).
1. There are 1.5 million abortions a year in America every year--27 million since the Supreme Court overturned the public conscience of 48 states 19 years ago.2. 30% of all babies conceived in America are killed by abortion.
3. Medically, women are told not to have abortions before the 7th week of pregnancy (see the Yes/Neon booklet), and yet by the 8th week the heart of the baby has been beating for a month, there are measurable brain waves, there is response to touch, there's thumb-sucking, grasping with the hands, swimming with the arms in the amniotic fluid, distinct arms and legs and sexual organs. This much must--not may, must--be present before most abortion centers will cut the baby to pieces with a suction machine 4,000 times a day.
4. 9,000 babies were killed after the 21st week of pregnancy in 1987, fully formed and on the brink of being able to breathe for themselves--killed, legally!
5. We have a fetal homicide law that makes it "murder to kill an embryo or fetus intentionally, except in cases of abortion"--in other words, it's unlawful to kill the unborn child unless the mother chooses to have it killed. That is a strange and dark criterion for lawful killing.
6. That "There is inescapable schizophrenia in aborting a perfectly normal 22 week fetus while at the same hospital, performing intra-uterine surgery on its cousin" (Steve Calvin).
7. Viability outside the womb is not a criterion of personhood and right to life, because we ourselves don't want to give up our personhood and our right to life if we must be sustained on a respirator or dialysis machine the way a baby has to be sustained by a placenta.
8. The size and reasoning power of a tiny person is irrelevant to human personhood because if it were we might allow tiny and unthinking newborns to be killed.
9. Genetically human embryos and fetuses are utterly different from all other animal life; if they are just left alone, with nothing added but nourishment they will grow up.
10. If it is unlawful to crush the egg of a bald eagle, it is not excessively restrictive to make it unlawful to crush the egg of a human.
11. When two legitimate rights conflict--the right not to be pregnant and the right not to be killed--justice demands that we give place to the greater right, the right that does the least harm--the one that does not willfully kill.
12. There are thousands of crisis pregnancy centers in this country ready to help, and almost all of them are free--unlike the abortion mills that charge plenty of money--and the older the baby, the more they charge.
13.It is hypocritical to speak as though choice were the untouchable absolute in this matter and then turn around and oppose choice in matters of gun-control and welfare support and affirmative action and minimum wage and dozens of other issues where so-called pro-choice people join the demand that people's choices be limited to protect others. It's a sham argument. All choices are limited by life.
14 Trespassing to save life is not a crime and that it does not undermine our legal system but on the contrary endorses the one foundation stone without which that legal system in this land will fall, namely the inalienable right to life. There will be no law but the law of individual choice (=anarchy) if the foundations stone of life's value is destroyed. And abortion is destroying it
Are you ready for this? Actual abortion video. Unless one has seen what an abortion actually is, the arguments supporting abortion are purely theoretical and pale in comparison to the reality of killing a child. WARNING: Not for the faint of heart. See it here.

Doesn't it seem like information such as what you've posted is so straightforward that no one would question the horridness of it? I will personally recommend an interesting sermon by Piper this year on abortion and racism for anyone curious about such things.
Abortions are much more rampant in the minority races, and yet no one seems to be up in arms that abortion clinics seem to be in minority areas so that way more minorities than whites are dying? Yet we will actually blow up over advantages in the work place? For instance, Piper says that the ratio of clinics to crisis pregnancy centers is 40:1 in Miami. . . It's worth reading or listening to, I think.
I don't think it's strange, though, that people don't get it - because selfishness creates tunnel vision that blocks out what happens to everyone else around them. We seriously are a very broken and stupid people, but praise God for grace in Jesus who can save us from such tragedy and who bore all 1.5 million abortions from last year and the prior years and those in other countries throughout the years. . . He is where the solution lies.
