THE FALSE ARGUMENT THAT IT'S HER BODY

 


Let's imagine a man owns a private plane and invites you (regardless of your gender) to fly with him. The plane is in the air, and while flying, the man claims his right to private property and, alleging that the plane is his, forces you to jump out. Obviously, you die, but the man defends himself by saying, "It's my plane, I had the right to ask you to get out."

 This is similar to when a woman says she owns her body and therefore has the right to dispose of, through murder, the child she is carrying.

That is, evidently, a crime, since what is in the mother's womb is not part of the mother's body but is a distinct human being, with its own DNA, from conception to death. 

Many governments consider themselves "progressive and developed" for allowing the murder of defenseless human beings. These governments and rulers should be reminded that they too will die someday. If they do not repent of their crimes, God will hold them accountable for all the innocent blood spilled as a result of selfishness and greed for money (since abortion is a big global business that makes millions by sacrificing those poor, defenseless human lives for hundreds of thousands). No one would want to be in their shoes on the day that divine justice demands an accounting of their actions.

Obviously, being pro-life does not mean that we should only limit ourselves to saying that this crime is wrong. Being pro-life means seeking help for mothers who cannot support their children, helping the poor and destitute, having compassion for the weakest and most vulnerable, and so many other things. However, none of this can be done if we do not defend life from conception to death.

Note: Currently, this defense is more urgent in Mexico because the left-wing government intends to authorize this crime up to nine months of gestation!
