For the most part, abortion<\/a> apologists do all they can to deny the humanity of the preborn. But occasionally, someone will admit that preborn children are human beings — even if just by accident.<\/p>\n

Danielle Campoamor, a fanatically pro-abortion writer who has previously compared miscarriages to abortion<\/a>, infuriating women across the country, has participated in misleading Planned Parenthood propaganda<\/a> in the media. She has complained about a lack of abortion ads<\/a> on television. She’s given inaccurate and misleading advice<\/a> on abortion. She recently made waves after penning an op-ed arguing that supporting abortion is pro-life<\/a>. Suffice it to say, Campoamor is an extremist.<\/p>\n

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed into law a bill that bans abortion once a heartbeat can be detected<\/a>. A preborn baby’s heart starts beating<\/a> around 16 days after conception, and can usually be detected by six weeks of pregnancy. Campoamor was angry; that much wasn’t a surprise. But her argument of choice was rather shocking; in a tweet, she admitted that a six-week preborn baby has a heartbeat<\/em>, but that her heartbeat “matters more”:<\/p>\n

\n

My heartbeat matters more than the heartbeat of a 6-week-old embryo. My heartbeat matters more than the heartbeat of a 6-week-old embryo. My heartbeat matters more than the heartbeat of a 6-week-old embryo. My heartbeat matters more #NoAbortionBan<\/a> #IAPol<\/a><\/p>\n

People were understandably infuriated, and it’s not difficult to see why. Campoamor essentially just admitted that it should be acceptable to take the life of another human being, because her life matters more<\/em>. It’s the kind of argument that has allowed countless human rights abuses across history to take place: some people must die for the good of others.<\/p>\n

Science has progressed in recent decades, making the humanity of the preborn undeniable. We know now that a preborn baby’s brain waves can be measured by just six weeks of pregnancy<\/a>. The baby has a separate, unique DNA strand at the moment of conception. Even in the earliest weeks of pregnancy, there’s no doubting that a preborn baby is a human being<\/a>.<\/p>\n
