Abortion: It’s Not About YOU!

Cindy Dawson

It’s about your baby. I get angry every time I see a pro-abortion political ad. They never talk about abortion. They only talk about “reproductive rights” or “women’s health care”. That’s a diversion to make their case more palatable.

But that isn’t the real issue. The real issue is should it be legal for a mother to kill her unborn baby? It’s illegal to kill your child after he’s born (at least for now). Should it be legal to kill your baby all the way up to birth? That’s what they want, the right to abortion at any time during pregnancy with no limitations.

The powers behind the abortion industry have been successful in changing the focus of the debate because discussing the right to kill your child is too offensive.

Have you ever wondered why there is such a strong effort to make abortion acceptable to the public? What drives the abortion industry? Why is the strategy to promote abortion so carefully planned and controlled? As with most things, it’s money. So let’s follow the money! Here’s what I found:

  • According to the JEC (Joint Economic Committee), “Abortion restrictions are dangerous and costly for … the U.S. economy, and state and local economies. One estimate finds that the 16 states that have banned abortion since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade are costing the United States $68 billion per year in lost earnings and economic activity.”

Oh! So limiting abortion is bad for the economy? That’s despicable! Pro-abortion activists always divert the conversation away from the real issue, the life of an unborn child.

  • According to Planned Parenthood’s own report, in 2019-20, Planned Parenthood reported $1.6 billion in income.
  • Americans may be surprised to learn that Planned Parenthood has plenty of money, and taxpayers are contributing a large part of it. Its president receives an annual compensation of almost $1 million.

Meanwhile, more than 1 million abortions took place in the U.S. last year. That’s the highest number in more than a decade, per the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights.
No limit: Six states and Washington, D.C., do not impose any term restrictions. (Axios) That means abortions are legal through the 9th month.

Abortion without limits is their ultimate goal.

If you believe that abortion is about women’s rights, you have been deceived by the smokescreen created by the pro-abortion lobby.

We must stand up for the vulnerable and helpless children.

“Vindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
 Rescue the weak and needy;
Save them from the hand of the wicked.

They do not know nor do they understand;
They walk around in darkness;” Psalm 82:3-5 NASB

“Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.” Psalm 127:3 NLT

Abortion Or Healthcare?

Cindy Dawson

Over the next few months leading up to the election, you may notice an increase in ads for “reproductive rights”. “Reproductive rights” is an euphemism for abortion. There are many euphemisms for abortion including women’s rights, women’s healthcare, reproductive choice, pro-choice, and others.

Using these euphemisms, abortion advocates redirect the conversation away from the child and to the child’s mother—or, as they prefer to say, “the woman.”

But the fact is, we’re really talking about abortion, which is the taking of a human life while in the mother’s womb. Abortion rights activists claim the unborn fetus is not a baby, but we all know that it is a baby and the “person with a capacity for pregnancy” is the mother.

They can change the language all they want, but it doesn’t change the reality.

A euphemism is a mild or indirect word or expression substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant.

Over time, the use of euphemisms can, and have, changed society’s view on abortion. It is a deception that seeks to hide the reality of murdering a child and cloaks that murder in a positive light.

It isn’t the worst thing in the world to have a baby you didn’t plan on. The worst thing in the world is to kill that baby.

But don’t expect pro-abortion activists to fight for the right to kill your baby. That sounds too harsh. And it is.

These linguistic sleights of hand work. Abortion advocates themselves have been and remain deceived—seduced even—by these very euphemisms. They sincerely believe the moral claims they assume in this way of speaking.

“Those responsible for changing the language have changed the way people think and believe and act.” Trent Hunter, Aborion or Feticide: Words Matter (I encourage you to read this excellent article.)

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.” Isaiah 5:20 NIV

“For You created my innermost parts;
You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, because I am awesomely and wonderfully made;” Psalm 139:13-14 NIV

So as you watch TV or scroll social media, take note of the deception being used to mislead the public into supporting the murder of babies in the mother’s womb. Do not be deceived by euphemisms.

This Is a Baby

Cindy Dawson

These 2 photos are of the same baby. The only difference between these 2 photos is the baby’s location (in the mother’s womb and after birth).

Did you know that you were created the moment your mother’s egg and your father’s sperm were united? Yes, you were created about 9 months before the day of your birth. At the moment of conception, your exact genetic makeup was determined: your sex, your hair color, skin color, eye color, all of it!

At the instant of fertilization, your baby’s genes and sex are set. If the sperm has a Y chromosome, your baby will be a boy. If it has an X chromosome, the baby will be a girl.

Web MD https://www.webmd.com/baby/understanding-conception

After conception, you started to grow and continued to develop until about age 25. (Emerging science about brain development suggests that most people don’t reach full maturity until the age 25.)

“For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
 My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.” Psalm 139:13-16 NIV (emphasis mine)

God is present in the smallest parts of our lives. Even before we are born, He is at work.

Abortion rights advocates push the erroneous belief that the baby in his/her mother’s womb is not a human being. They refer to her as the “fetus”, “a clump of cells”, a “zygote”, or even a “parasite”. There is a reason behind this.

Unwanted human beings have always been belittled and dehumanized by language in order to justify killing them.

Rebecca Dyer

During the Holocaust, Jews were not considered human. During slavery in America, blacks were not considered “persons” because of their skin color.

A human is a human, and calling it anything else in order to marginalize its value is wrong.

“It is scientifically correct to say that an individual human life begins at conception … and that this developing human always is a member of our species in all stages of life” 

Harvard University Medical School professor Micheline Matthews-Ross testified before a 1981 U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee

Abortion Facts

  • As of 2019 – New York abortion law now allows for abortions all the way to full-term!
  • There are nearly one million abortions per year on average, while there are approximately two million families waiting to adopt a child.

Someone must stand up and say, “THIS IS NOT RIGHT!”

“Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
    for he guards the lives of his faithful ones
    and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.” Psalm 97:10 NIV

To be Pro-Choice means that you believe it is a mother’s choice whether her baby will live or be killed. Let’s call it what it is. You can call it something else, like women’s rights, autonomy, healthcare, etc., but that does not change the truth. Women who face an unplanned pregnancy should not be fed lies!

You have to ask yourself, “Why is there so much pro-abortion propaganda, misinformation, and lies?

According to a 2019 report, revenue for the abortion industry has continued to grow. It has been growing at a rate of 1.7% over the past five years and is expected to total $4.1 billion in 2023.

Follow the money!

“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” 1 Timothy 6:10 NIV

Many young people have been brainwashed by a pro-abortion agenda. Kristin Hawkins makes pro-life speeches at universities around the country. You can find her on YouTube. It will open your eyes to what we are up against and the lies these students believe.

(Jesus rebuked the Pharisees saying,) “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44 NIV (emphasis mine)

“All that is required for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.”

Your Unborn Child Is Not Just a Clump of Cells

Cindy Dawson

The photo above was taken the day after my daughter’s birth. She was born 5 weeks premature and weighed 5 lbs 12 oz when I took her home 7 days later.

If she had not arrived early, this is what she would have looked like while in the womb. The same baby you see in the photo above would exist, just in a different location. She would not have been “just a clump of cells”. But that is what pro-abortion advocates want you to believe.

Pro-abortion activists want you to believe that the child in the womb is not a human being. They say it is a zygote, a fetus, or even just a clump of cells, but certainly not a human being with the right to live. Of course, this is the entire point. That living, growing body in the womb IS a human being, an innocent child, dependent on her mother to grow and thrive until she’s ready to enter the world. Even then, she is dependent on her parents to nurture and care for her until she is an adult (or maybe forever).

Mothers who want their babies KNOW that the life growing inside of them is their baby. They don’t wonder if it’s a baby or a clump of cells. It’s only when having a child is inconvenient that the mother’s attitude and beliefs dramatically change.

The photo below was taken 35 years later in Africa where she volunteered in a children’s hospital for 6 months, her days ordained and written in God’s book before they came to be.

“For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well…

Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.” Psalm 139:13-14 and 16 NIV
