(Slow To Write<\/a>)\u00a0Imagine for a second that you\u2019re a 27-year-old woman. You\u2019re married to a bad husband and bad father. You have one child\u2014a seven year old boy. And you all live in poor conditions in a poor country.<\/p>\n

One morning you discover you\u2019re pregnant. And you worry you barely have enough money for yourself, your husband, and your little boy. Now that you\u2019re pregnant, you\u2019re convinced you do not have the means to feed your new baby.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t make a lot of money, and your husband doesn\u2019t make a lot of money either. When he learns you\u2019re pregnant, he becomes frustrated and overwhelmed. He knows what you know. He knows that when the baby is born, life will be even more difficult than it already is. But you\u2019re confident the two of you, you and your husband, will find a way to persevere.<\/p>\n

But one day, your husband packs his bags and carries his items out of the house\u2014leaving you to carry the baby, the boy, and your burdens by yourself.\u00a0Remember, you live in a poor country. In this poor country, government assistance isn\u2019t available to you. You\u2019re alone with your seven year old boy and the preborn baby.<\/p>\n

What would you do?<\/p>\n

You could take two full-time jobs \u2014 if you can find any \u2014 so you can keep your home and provide for you and your two children. You would work 16 hours a day and sleep four hours or less a day.\u00a0And you would have only four hours every day to prepare your children for school, prepare their meals, walk them to and from school or child care, before you can walk to and from work.<\/p>\n

You could do that. You could ruin your life.\u00a0Or you can get an abortion and you can keep your life. Your husband won\u2019t leave you if you get an abortion. If you get the abortion, you can keep your one job \u2014 not two. You can keep your one child, not two. You can keep your one husband, not zero.\u00a0You could do that. You can get an abortion. Maybe that wouldn\u2019t ruin your life.<\/p>\n

But your life isn\u2019t the only thing to consider. Maybe getting an abortion wouldn\u2019t ruin your<\/em> life. But getting an abortion ruins a life. Abortion ruins a human life. Abortion ruins a baby\u2019s life. Abortion kills babies.<\/p>\n

Abortions at every stage of pregnancy kills babies. Human life begins at fertilization. We can trace our distinct DNA to the moment we were fertilized as zygotes because that\u2019s when human life begins. When we develop from a zygote to a fetus, we do not become more human, we simply become more physically mature.<\/p>\n

However, abortion rips a baby apart, limb-by-limb. Abortion decapitates and destroys a baby\u2019s body. Abortion rips a baby\u2019s legs and arms off of their bodies, and it crushes a baby\u2019s spine and head. Abortion forces preborn babies to suffer horrific deaths.<\/p>\n
