Birth Control or Legal Murder?

dern biology, life is present from the moment of conception'"
             (Fetal Development). In a 1963 Planned Parenthood pamphlet entitled 'Plan
             Your Children' it states "an abortion kills the life of a baby after it has
             begun. It is dangerous to your life and health" (Factbot). Even though
             abortion is dangerous to a woman's life, and it kills her baby, Planned
             Parenthood still offers it as a safe solution. This statement contradicts
             what most abortion clinics say. It is not possible for abortion to be
             offered to women as a safe solution, when it not only puts her life in
             danger, but it also kills her child.
             Not only has science proven that a fetus is truly a human, the simple
             facts also confer abortion kills the life of a human being. Life begins at

             "'If a fertilized egg is not by itself a full human being it could not
             become one, because nothing is added to it,'" said Dr. Jerome Lejeune

             Of the 45 generations of cell divisions before adulthood, 41 have taken
             place before a person is born (Factbot). Fertilization is just the beginning
             of a long process of growing and maturing. "Life in a continuum. From the
             moment the egg is fertilized a new life has begun. All of the genetic
             information is present to construct a unique individual. Gender, physical
             features, eye color have already been determined. The baby's heart begins
             beating regularly at 24 days. Babies in the womb hiccup, cry, play, and
             learn" (Factbot). Life continues from the day of fertilization until death.
             Nothing is added to a person during a lifetime. "'Conception confers life
             and makes that life one of a kind,'" said Dr Landrum Shettles f...
