Birth Control or Legal Murder?

            Approximately 1.6 million murders are committed legally each year. With
             the exception of laws in few states, the mutilated bodies of the victims are
             thrown into dumpsters like pieces of rotten meat. While these victims lay
             waiting in the infested dumpsters to be hauled off to a landfill, the
             murderers are in their offices waiting for their next patient--the
             accomplice to the murder. This is the murder of an innocent child by a
             procedure known as abortion. Abortion stops the beating of an innocent
             child's heart. People must no longer ignore the scientific evidence that
             life begins at the moment of conception. People can no longer ignore the
             medical and emotional problems an abortion causes women. People must stop
             denying the facts about the procedure, and start hearing the silent screams
             of unborn children.
            
             The argument by the pro-abortion side is that the unborn child is not
             truly a child. Many people who are pro-abortion justify their beliefs
             through the concept that a fetus is only a blob of tissue until it is born,
             or the statement: life begins at birth. Abortion is not as simple as
             removing a "blob of tissue" (as the pro-abortion activists put it) from a
             woman's body. Abortion is the destruction, dismembering and killing of a
             human life--an unborn baby. "But it is scientific and medical fact based on
             experimental evidence, that a fetus is a living, growing, thriving human
             being, directing his or her own development" (Fetal Development). A fetus is
             not just a blob of tissue, rather a fetus is Latin for "offspring or young
             one." Human life begins at fertilization, therefore it is wrong to murder
             the innocent child in the womb. At a US Senate Judiciary Subcommittee
             meeting, most scientists said that life begins at conception or implantation
             of the embryo. No scientist at the meeting claimed that life begins at birth
             (Factbot). Professor Hymie Gordon of the Mayo clinic stated "' . . by all
             criteria of modern...
