Abortion supporters do not “follow the science,” or perhaps they failed biology class and didn’t learn how babies are created. Science irrefutably says that when sperm and egg fertilize inside a woman’s womb, a human being has been created. No doubt about it, and every baby has its own individual DNA. It’s not an alien creature, it’s a human being.

Our nation’s founding documents say that all people (spoiler alert — babies are people) are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But an even more important document from ancient times says, in No. 5, “Thou shall not kill.” All of our laws at all levels acknowledge that it is against the law to kill another human being.

A woman has the right to care for her body, but the baby that she helped conceive also has a right to proper care (and life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness).

In most cases, no one makes a woman get pregnant; that is her choice. All sentient adults are responsible for their choices. Pregnancy is a serious choice; two human lives are biologically connected.

Abortion supporters want to make this life-or-death decision a simple “political” choice. Common sense says otherwise, and makes it pretty simple. Babies are created at conception. How can anyone state that it is not a baby? It’s basic biology!
