But while many have used this tragedy as a rallying cry in the wake of the Supreme Court&#8217;s reversal of <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>, few people are talking about what really needs to be done: <em>protecting children from pedophiles<\/em>. Abortion is a violent act and carries significant risks and consequences, even for rape survivors. Instead of championing abortion for young girls who have suffered unspeakable crimes, abortion activists should focus on protecting children from predators.<\/p>\n<p>Harris&#8217;s claim that children need abortion is also ironic, considering that abortion has <em>killed<\/em> over <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/latest-estimates-63-million-aborted-since-roe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">63 million children<\/a>\u00a0before birth in the United States.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/kamala-harris-human-beings-womb-real\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hey, Kamala Harris: Human beings in the womb are real human beings<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When abortion was legalized with the ruling of <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> in 1973, one of the abortion industry&#8217;s most common lies was that the child inside the womb was nothing more than a clump of cells. But since that time nearly 50 years ago, science has advanced tremendously \u2014 and with those advancements has come an incredible understanding of the intricacy and beauty of life inside the womb.<\/p>\n<p>As Live Action&#8217;s &#8220;Baby Olivia&#8221; demonstrates \u2014 with statistics backed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ehd.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Endowment for Human Development<\/a> \u2014 the preborn child is clearly human. Her heart beats just 22 days after fertilization. She can suck her thumb at nine weeks, make complex facial expressions at 11 weeks, and respond to noises in the outside world at 20 weeks. While she is tucked out of sight, safely in her mother&#8217;s womb, there is no denying that she is a living, growing child.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S-lQOooYAs8\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, Harris and other abortion advocates often use crimes against children to justify saving the very act (abortion) that is killing so many younger, even more defenseless children.
