They tell us that the unborn aren't human which is, from a scientific perspective, like telling us the sun orbits the earth--see the end for more scientific sources stating that a new human life begins not at birth but at conception:
6. “Human life begins at fertilization, the process during which a male gamete or sperm (spermatozoon) unites with a female gamete or oocyte (ovum) to form a single cell called a zygote. This highly specialized, totipotent cell marked the beginning of each of us as a unique individual.” “A zygote is the beginning of a new human being (i.e., an embryo).”
Keith L. Moore, The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology, 7th edition. Philadelphia, PA: Saunders, 2003. pp. 16, 2.
But if the unborn aren't human, as Democrats say, then clearly women who lose their inhuman clump of cells in a miscarriage shouldn't be any sadder than a woman who is trying to get pregnant but who fails in one cycle go get pregnant should be.
So either women who mourn the loss of their baby when they miscarry are misguided fools and science is completely wrong or Democrats who say that the unborn aren't human are.
If the Democrats are right you should never comfort a woman who's had a miscarriage you should just tell her to shrug it off as no big deal.
Of course that this really tells us is that it's not just science but human nature that shows that from the moment of conception we know that it's a baby developing not a clump of cells.
Real people who actually care about others recognize the immense suffering a woman who has, through no fault of her own, lost her unborn baby goes through. We naturally reach out to comfort her just as we comfort a woman whose born child dies because we know that there is no greater pain for a woman than losing her child irrespective of how developed that child is.
The reasoning that Democrats use when confronted with the science is to declare that the unborn human being isn't a person who is entitled to human rights. The idea that the government, not science, determines which biological human beings have rights isn't new. Slave owners used it to justify slavery and the Nazis used it to justify the Holocaust.
If the government can define which biological human beings have rights then none of us are safe. If a society believes that lie, as opposed to the truth of our Declaration of Independence that says that all people have inalienable rights, then if those with political power want to they can declare any group--Blacks, Asians, the mentally ill, Jews, etc--to not have human rights.
But that's what the Democrats want; they want complete and absolute power over we the people.
Here are some more scientific sources declaring the obvious; human life begins at conception not birth.
- “The life cycle of mammals begins when a sperm enters an egg.”
Okada et al., A role for the elongator complex in zygotic paternal genome demethylation, NATURE 463:554 (Jan. 28, 2010)
2. “Fertilization is the process by which male and female haploid gametes (sperm and egg) unite to produce a genetically distinct individual.”
Signorelli et al., Kinases, phosphatases and proteases during sperm capacitation, CELL TISSUE RES. 349(3):765 (Mar. 20, 2012)
5. “The government’s own definition attests to the fact that life begins at fertilization. According to the National Institutes of Health, ‘fertilization’ is the process of union of two gametes (i.e., ovum and sperm) ‘whereby the somatic chromosome number is restored and the development of a new individual is initiated.'”
Steven Ertelt “Undisputed Scientific Fact: Human Life Begins at Conception, or Fertilization” LifeNews.com 11/18/13
Preborn child at 12 weeks
7. “In that fraction of a second when the chromosomes form pairs, the sex of the new child will be determined, hereditary characteristics received from each parent will be set, and a new life will have begun.”
Kaluger, G., and Kaluger, M., Human Development: The Span of Life, page 28-29, The C.V. Mosby Co., St. Louis, 1974.
8. An embryology textbook describes how birth is just an event in the development of a baby, not the beginning of his/her life:
“It should always be remembered that many organs are still not completely developed by full-term and birth should be regarded only as an incident in the whole developmental process.”
F Beck Human Embryology, Blackwell Scientific Publications, 1985 page vi
9. “It is the penetration of the ovum by a sperm and the resulting mingling of nuclear material each brings to the union that constitutes the initiation of the life of a new individual.”
Clark Edward and Corliss Patten’s Human Embryology, McGraw – Hill Inc., 30
10. “Although it is customary to divide human development into prenatal and postnatal periods, it is important to realize that birth is merely a dramatic event during development resulting in a change in environment.”
The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology fifth edition, Moore and Persaud, 1993, Saunders Company, page 1
11. “Your baby starts out as a fertilized egg… For the first six weeks, the baby is called an embryo.”
Prenatal Care, US Department Of Health And Human Services, Maternal and Child Health Division, 1990
12. “Landrum B. Shettles, M.D., P.h.D. was first scientist to succeed at in vitro fertilization: ‘The zygote is human life… there is one fact that no one can deny; Human beings begin at conception.’
“Zygote is a term for a newly conceived life after the sperm and the egg cell meet but before the embryo begins to divide.”
From Landrum B. Shettles “Rites of Life: The Scientific Evidence for Life Before Birth” Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1983 p 40
13. The medical textbook, Before We Are Born – Essentials of Embryology and Birth Defects, states:
“The zygote and early embryo are living human organisms.”
Keith L. Moore & T.V.N. Persaud Before We Are Born – Essentials of Embryology and Birth Defects (W.B. Saunders Company, 1998. Fifth edition.) Page 500
14. “Thus a new cell is formed from the union of a male and a female gamete. [sperm and egg cells] The cell, referred to as the zygote, contains a new combination of genetic material, resulting in an individual different from either parent and from anyone else in the world.”
Sally B Olds, et al., Obstetric Nursing (Menlo Park, California: Addison – Wesley publishing, 1980) P 136
15. “The term conception refers to the union of the male and female pronuclear elements of procreation from which a new living being develops. It is synonymous with the terms fecundation, impregnation, and fertilization … The zygote thus formed represents the beginning of a new life.”
J.P. Greenhill and E.A. Freidman. Biological Principles and Modern Practice of Obstetrics. Philadelphia: W.B. Saunders Publishers. 1974 Pages 17 and 23.
16. “Development begins with fertilization, the process by which the male gamete, the sperm, and the femal gamete, the oocyte, unite to give rise to a zygote.”
T.W. Sadler, Langman’s Medical Embryology, 10th edition. Philadelphia, PA: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006. p. 11.
17. “[The zygote], formed by the union of an oocyte and a sperm, is the beginning of a new human being.”
Keith L. Moore, Before We Are Born: Essentials of Embryology, 7th edition. Philadelphia, PA: Saunders, 2008. p. 2.
18. “Although life is a continuous process, fertilization… is a critical landmark because, under ordinary circumstances, a new genetically distinct human organism is formed when the chromosomes of the male and female pronuclei blend in the oocyte.”
Ronan O’Rahilly and Fabiola Miller, Human Embryology and Teratology, 3rd edition. New York: Wiley-Liss, 2001. p. 8.
19. “[All] organisms, however large and complex they might be as full grown, begin life as a single cell. This is true for the human being, for instance, who begins life as a fertilized ovum.”
Dr. Morris Krieger “The Human Reproductive System” p 88 (1969) Sterling Pub. Co
But if the unborn aren't human, as Democrats say, then clearly women who lose their inhuman clump of cells in a miscarriage shouldn't be any sadder than a woman who is trying to get pregnant but who fails in one cycle go get pregnant should be.
