“The vast majority of abortions are performed between the seventh and tenth week when the baby is already sucking his thumb, recoiling from pricking, responding to sound. All his organs are present, the brain is functioning, the heart is pumping, the liver is making blood cells, the kidneys are cleaning fluids, and there is a fingerprint. His genetic code is uniquely and unquestionably human. And, if we are willing, he can be seen by ultrasound.” IfsHumansHeartSoundBrainBloodWeekWillingBabyMajorityCellsCodeAbortionOrgansCleaningThumbsFluidRespondingLiverKidneysFingerprintsUltrasoundsBlood Cells Author:John Piper
“Whether you have an abortion, what you put in your own body, with whom you have sex - these are not affairs of the state. A government does not exist to control the citizens.

The tree of liberty, Jefferson warned us, must be refreshed with the blood of tyrants and patriots.” DoeStatesBodyGovernmentSexLibertyTreeBloodCitizensAffairTyrannyAbortionTyrantsPatriot Author:Gore Vidal
“Europe has discarded its children. A bit triumphantly. I remember that when I was studying in one country the clinics that did abortions then prepared everything to send it to cosmetic factories.

And this was something to brag about, because it was progressive.” ChildrenMadeCountryRememberBitsStudyBloodEuropePreparedAbortionMakeupProgressiveFactoriesCosmeticsDiscardedBragClinic Author:Pope Francis
