In fact &#8212; and you can look this up in any biology textbook &#8212; at fertilization, the full and complete DNA of a new, separate, and distinct human being is established. The heart starts beating 22 days after fertilization. Most of the gruesome, heartless procedures being described in the expos\u00e9 videos are of fetuses in the late first or early second trimester (around 13 weeks, give or take a few).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/petition\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-68636 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DefundAd-400b.jpg\" alt=\"DefundAd-400b\" width=\"400\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DefundAd-400b.jpg 400w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DefundAd-400b-300x128.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an analogy \u2013 babies aren\u2019t built in the womb like cars on an assembly line, where parts are added along the way, turning it from something that is not a car into something that is a car over time. No, babies are like Polaroid pictures that develop over time. When a Polaroid picture is taken, the entirety of what that picture will become is already there \u2013 it just hasn\u2019t developed yet. Given time, it will. This is how babies develop in the womb. A fertilized egg in a woman\u2019s womb never became a tree, or a frog, or an amoeba. And no human being ever started out as something other than that so-called &#8220;fertilized egg.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Babies are not constructed, they develop. From the moment that development begins, at fertilization, a separate life is formed.<\/p>\n<p>Again, let\u2019s put to rest the notion that it is her body. It isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Patient \u201cconsent\u201d is at best an inconvenience, and at worst a joke to the\u00a0<\/strong><strong>abortion clinics exposed in these videos.<\/strong> This is where the notion of choice dies its very timely death. The expos\u00e9 videos make it clear that the clinics in question are inconvenienced by the idea of having to get consent from patients.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-70544\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/woman-crying.jpg\" alt=\"woman-crying\" width=\"672\" height=\"372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/woman-crying.jpg 672w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/woman-crying-300x166.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Two problems stand out. First, when the abortion clinics in question do get consent, what exactly are they getting consent for? Is it clear to the patients that a fully formed, clearly identifiable human being is being aborted, or has the abortionist convinced her that it is \u201cjust a clump of cells\u201d? Second, have they told her that they are going to alter the procedure in a way that has nothing to do with patient care, but everything to do with maximizing the amount of money they can get from the \u201cspecimen\u201d? These questions must be investigated by an entity that has the authority to provide consequences for Planned Parenthood if their answers are inadequate.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, it is clear from the series of videos that there are cases where the abortion clinics do not get any kind of consent at all, and other cases where, when they don\u2019t get consent by distressed patients, they go back in and essentially demand it. In other instances, technicians harvest body parts they were explicitly not given consent for.<\/p>\n<p>That is not choice. That is duress. Planned Parenthood only cares about the choices women make if they are the desired [read: money-making] choices.<\/p>\n<p>So, to summarize, it\u2019s not her body and any \u201cchoice\u201d she has made to have the parts of her aborted baby sold likely stands on very shaky ground. And we haven\u2019t even addressed the idea of \u201cchoice\u201d when it comes to the abortion itself. Writers like Frederica Mathewes-Green, in her book Real Choices, have explored the idea that most women who \u201cchoose\u201d abortion have done so out of loneliness, desperation, poverty, abuse, duress, or some other difficult challenge. As she states, \u201cNo woman wants an abortion as she wants an ice cream cone or a Porsche. She wants an abortion as an animal caught in a trap wants to gnaw off its own leg.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What this should mean is that pro-choice people are going to have to start making another argument to defend their position. And it is already starting to happen as, in my view, even the staunchest pro-choice activists are realizing that the \u201cmy body, my choice\u201d line is absurd. They are moving in the direction of \u201cnormalizing\u201d and \u201cde-stigmatizing\u201d abortion, so that even if we all know what it actually is \u2013 the taking of a life \u2013 we will all be cool with it anyway.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salon.com\/2013\/01\/23\/so_what_if_abortion_ends_life\/\">an article on Salon.com<\/a>, Mary Elizabeth Williams writes, \u201cAnd I would put the life of a mother over the life of a fetus every single time \u2014 even if I still need to acknowledge my conviction that the fetus is indeed a life. A life worth sacrificing.\u201d As chilling and perverse as that logic is (it is the same \u201clogic\u201d the Nazis used to justify the killing of Jews in the Holocaust), at least it is logic.<\/p>\n<p>The same can\u2019t be said for \u201cmy body, my choice.\u201d Let\u2019s put it to rest for good.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Note: This article was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.care-net.org\/abundant-life-blog\/the-death-of-the-my-body-my-choice-mantra?utm_campaign=ppsellsbabyparts&amp;utm_content=20133291&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=facebook\">first published<\/a> at <a href=\"http:\/\/care-net.org\">Care Net<\/a> on August 19, 2015, and is reprinted here with permission.
