Standing on a well-worn soap box

I was doing my Gov notes, when i came across the line "Nor can a State print or coin money or deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law." under the heading Powers Denied to the States.

Now, coming at it from a strictly Pro-Life stance, i immediately looked up the original text.

The original text, in the United States Constitution states:

Amendment 14 - Citizenship Rights. Ratified 7/9/1868.
nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law

Now, keeping that in mind lets talk about sex.....

Day 1:
The sperm fertilizes the egg. The sperm and egg each carries half of the normal amount of genetic material (DNA.) After fertilization, the egg now has a full set of genes that is unique.
-Robert Needlman, M.D., F.A.A.P.

Is this egg a baby?
many say yes.
many say no.

still don't think it's going to become life?

Week 3:
The inner, outer, and middle layers of cells are destined to become different tissues in the developing fetus, such as skin and nerves, intestines, and muscle. The heart has begun to pump; the brain and spinal cord begin as a tube-like structure.
-Robert Needlman, M.D., F.A.A.P.

Most pregnancies can be detected by ultrasound in typically 4-5 weeks.
So by the time a woman even realizes it is time to have an abortion the baby's heart is already beating.

Is this egg a baby?
many say yes.
many say no.

but NOBODY can deny that this egg will BECOME a baby. Nobody can deny the fact that if let growing for nine months this egg will become a human being.

Why would a woman get an abortion?
because she doesn't want a baby.
because the egg is going to become a baby.
by getting an abortion she is stopping the life from developing.

A short story if you will.

16 year old Mary Reeves is a junior at Dunvar High in Michigan. She is in the top 10% of her class. She is on Varsity soccer and starts every game. She is not only involved in community service, but in her school as well. She is Student Council President and well-loved by her friends.

But Mary Reeves does not exist.

Because her mother made a small mistake, and then decided to get an abortion.
Mary's mother was not ready to create a life.

Now, answer me honestly
Did Mary's mother deprive her of her life?
The answer is yes.
Mary's life was deprived.

I don't care if you are Pro-life or Pro-choice or pro-i don't care what's going on
the truth is that Mary was an egg with a full set of genes that was unique.
She was going to watch TV.
Se was going to swim.
She was going to go to the prom.
She was going to get married.
But now she can't.
Because her life has been stopped.

Now, going back to my earlier point.
The state CANNOT deprive a person of life...
They cannot deprive a person of life.

you agree that Mary's life was deprived.


So if the state or the nation creates a law stating that abortion is legal
THEY ARE DEPRIVING PEOPLE OF LIFE

and i now step off the soap box.

See Taylor, I know you'd be great in Washington! This was GREAT. I hope you have persuaded or at least influenced some to know the true realities of abortion. Love ya, Mom
