Abortion is Healthcare

Norman, let’s look at your false contentions.

Firstly, abortion is NOT healthcare. Traditionally, health care refers to treatment to correct a state of disease or ill health. Pregnancy is a natural state and is not a form of disease or ill health.

Secondly, it is very much the province of government to protect and balance the rights of human beings. In your comment you refer to the “baby” and even admit that the baby has life, but you justify ignoring the human Right to Life by claiming the unborn’s life is “incomplete”. You are attempting to justify a framework of degrees of humanity. There is no such thing.

For something as important as human life, there must be an objective, science-based criteria. DNA is the scientific identifier of life. Our DNA from the moment of conception will not only identify us scientifically as “human”, but it identifies us personally from that moment until our death. 

The position of valuing one human life over another is the very basis of oppression throughout the world. That thinking is what justifies slavery, discrimination, and genocide…You are trying to pit unborn humans against women. We MUST support and balance the rights of both.

Rod, abortion is not healthcare. Healthcare restores health or maintains health. Biologically, pregnancy is actually a marker of reproductive health – not disease. So, abortion ends a healthy process and it kills. That is the opposite of healthcare. Abortion harms women and kills the unborn. You still have not responded to the data we provided regarding the great psychological harm to women that often results from abortion.

Michael, miscarriage and abortion are not the same thing. Abortion is the willful ending of a living human. Miscarriage care is simply helping the woman expel the dead fetus. One is healthcare, the other is not.

Rod, abortionists are not “specialists”. Women are not going to them because the abortionists are the “experts”.  Women go to them because other physicians don’t want to do abortions. OBGYNs and Primary Care physicians have the training to do abortions but the vast majority choose not to. It is an abhorrent practice and they want to focus on life-preserving work. If you have ever spoken to a woman who has had an abortion, she will most likely tell you that she did NOT see the abortionist before the procedure, the abortionist may have not even spoken to her during the procedure, and the abortionist more than likely did NOT see her for any follow-up after the abortion. Abortionists do not provide healthcare and they do not follow standard medical care protocol that is expected in any other area of medicine. Women and unborn humans deserve better than abortion.
