The haploid sperm and egg are parts of the potential, the zygote is the vitac. Alive means having life, not death. The human being belongs to Homo sapiense. A person is an individual human being. The fetus feels pain, can taste, hear and smell II. The fetus is separated from the mother. When the blastocyst implants, it suppresses the mother's immune reaction. It has its own unique genetic blueprint. They were successfully formed and developed outside the uterusIII. The abortion methods are cruel and disgusting. Suction: plastic suction tube with knife tip. Dilation and curettage (D&C): Cuts the placenta and baby into pieces and scrapes them off. Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) – Tears the baby apart with a forceps-like instrument, crushes the skull, and removes it from the uterus. D & Hysterotomy – “early” caesarean sectionf. Salt (saline) poisoning – injection of strong saline solution into the amniotic sac, the baby is poisoned, takes more than 1 hour. To kill the baby, the mother delivers the dead baby in a day or two, burns the outer layer of the baby's skin, a technique developed in the concentration camps.

Every year there are over 200,000 couples waiting to adopt a child, but the availability of children is less than 25,000.

This choice also teaches the mother responsibility because she has to carry her baby. Abortion is not the only choice. This war against abortion has been going on for more than thirty years now. Both sides are tireless and fight as furiously as possible. One cannot help but recall the anguished comment of a convicted Nazi judge, who told an American judge after the Nuremberg trials: “I never imagined we would come to this.” The American judge responded simply: “The first time you condemned an innocent life you came to this.”
