Unborn babies are real people!

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<measured. At eight weeks the vital organs are functioning and fingerprints have formed. At nine
weeks, the unborn baby is able to feel pain. Over 700,000 abortions each year are performed after
this point in the pregnancy. By the beginning of the second month, the unborn child, small as it is, has
begun to look distinctly human, though the mother may not even be aware that she is pregnant! By
the time the baby is eleven weeks old, he or she breaths (fluid), swallows, digests, sleeps, dreams,
wakes, tastes, hears, and feels pain. Babies born prematurely can survive outside the womb as
young as 20-25 weeks old. Yet, all that is necessary to make the baby a grown human being is
already there from the moment of conception. All it needs is time to mature. Former Surgeon General, Dr. C. Everett Koop stated "We now know when life begins because the
test-tube baby proves that life begins with conception. What do you have in the dish? An egg and a
sperm. What do you add to it to get a baby? Nothing." Though it is wee, it is still a real person, just
as a crumb of bread is still real bread. No one who has been given the gift of life should dare
despise the day of small beginnings. Have we forgotten so quickly that we were once as small?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Knowing all that, can someone explain how any parent or abortion doctor can possibly take part in the murder of a baby (abortion) and still have a clean conscious?

McSpotlight: another hot topic; both sides, do your best to be civil about it. (can't help wondering if there are any anti-abortion people in favour of the death penalty...)
