But regardless of religion, abortion is unquestionably the act of ending a human life. This is not an opinion to be argued against; it is a <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/scientific-fact-human-life-begins-conception\/\">scientific fact<\/a> proven by advancements in technology. That means the question isn&#8217;t about whether abortion ends a life (it does) but whether or not it is acceptable\u00a0\u2014 even good \u2014\u00a0to kill <em>certain<\/em>\u00a0innocent human beings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/barbaric-ben-carson-abortion-cpac\/\">\u2018It\u2019s barbaric\u2019: Dr. Ben Carson speaks on horrors of abortion at CPAC<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Caviezel is also right about the &#8220;barbarism&#8221; of abortion. Abortion is a violent act that exists only to kill in a variety of ways. In the first trimester, the child is either starved to death by the abortion pill regimen or powerfully vacuumed to pieces in a suction abortion. During the second trimester, most children who die by abortion are killed using a D&amp;E procedure also known as dismemberment abortion in which a child literally dies when her arms and legs are ripped from her body and her skull is crushed. In the third trimester, the abortionist injects a drug into the child&#8217;s heart or head to induce cardiac arrest. Each victim of these brutal acts is an innocent child.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CFZDhM5Gwhk\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Caviezel also pointed out that while society likes claims all men are created equal, it fails to recognize\u00a0<em>when<\/em> men are created equal \u2014 and that, he said, happens at fertilization.
