The Case Against ABORTION - Jeff Calkins - August 1977

Jeff Calkins

Killing another human life for the sake of your own convenience is murder. If a fetus is another human life, then abortion is murder. Depending on your point of view, an abortion can usually be described in one of two ways: A doctor injects novocaine into the abdomen of a woman. The doctor then takes a three-and-a-half-inch-long spinal needle and places it on the spot where he first injected the novocaine. He pushes it in all the way. He takes out some yellow liquid. The process is repeated three times. The needle, connected to some tubing, is left in her abdomen, the doctor connects the tubing to a bottle of saline solution. After what seems to be an eternity, the doctor removes the tubing and the needle. The woman is told to go back to her room. Within twenty-four hours she will face a process exactly like childbirth: breaking of the bag of waters, cramps, labor. But when the baby is born, it will be dead. Its skin will be purple, burned and bruised. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
