WHEN LIFE BEGINS
JEREMIAH 1:5
‘Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.’
According to God’s own words he knows one before they are even conceived. Also he has a divine plan for each and every life. If that be so, who are we to destroy those lives before they even take their first breath?
AMERICAN HOLOCOST
From 1973 thru 2000 more than 40 million pre-born babies have been aborted in the U.S. Imagine the numbers now. Their deaths each year outnumber American casualties in all out wars combined. The saddest part is that the enemy that contribute to these babies deaths are the very ones whom are supposed to protect them … their parents.
1. Abortions … 1.5 million/yearly
2. Gulf war … less than 200
3. Vietnam war … 58,151
4. Korean war … 54,248
5. WW ll … 407,316
6. WW l … 116,708
7. Civil war … 498,332
8. Revolutionary war … 25,324
9. Total war deaths 1,043,569
Abortion is also the leading cause of death. The number of pre-born babies who die every year is more than 11 times greater than the combined total of Americans who die annually from:
1. Accidental falls … (12,000)
2. Drowning … (4,000)
3. Poisoning … (6,000)
4. Car accidents … (40,000)
5. Suicides … (30,000)
6. Homicides … (25,000)
The number of babies that die from abortion annually is higher than the number of Americans who die from cancer (550,000) and heart disease (700,000) combined.
At a minimum, more than 165,000 abortions are done each year to pre-born babies who are in the 2nd and 3rd trimester. Given the large amount of abortions done each year, the actual number of abortions done after the first 12 weeks of pregnancy is quite large, even tho it is a small percentage of the 1.3 million done annually.
NUMBER OF ABORTIONS ...... WEEKS OF PREGNANCY
90,000 .......... 13-15 weeks
60,000 .......... 16-20 weeks
15,000 .......... 21 or more weeks
600 .......... after 26 weeks
(after the baby is 6 months old)
The CDC (center for disease control) reports over 17,000 abortions in 19993 were done at 21 weeks or later. The above figures were published by the Alan Guttmacher institute in ‘Facts in Brief’, September 1995. Information from abortionists, clinic employees, and other sources, however suggests that the figures for later- term abortions are too low.
* In 1984 then Surgeon General C. Everett Koop estimated that about 4,000 “3rd trimester” (after 26 weeks) abortions occur in the U.S. and that “less than 5% of that number have induced abortion because of a known defect in the fetus.”
* An employee of Kansas abortionist George Tiller wrote in 1991, “I saw the medical records of every abortion patient for a period of over 6 months. At lease (conservatively) an average of 10 (24-30 week gestation) late term abortions were done each week.” In that facility alone … which would be over 500 a year.
SOME LITTLE KNOWN FACTS
* Babies used to be burned on the altar to Baal; now they’re burned in the furnaces at the sites of their deaths. In Cincinnati, a prenatal killer allowed dense smoke to emanate from his chimney. When firemen were called they were told “They’re burning babies”, as if that were routine.
* It is illegal to ship pregnant lobsters, regardless of which trimester, to market. There’s a $1,000 fine and a year’s jail term as a penalty.
* The Massachusetts Supreme Court has ruled that goldfish can not be awarded as prizes in games of chance. This violates the states anti cruelty law to protect the “tendency to dull humanitarian feelings and corrupt the morals of those who observe them.” This same court upheld mandatory state funding of abortion. Hmmm … a pre-born baby would fare better as a fish.
* Some researchers insist that the reason they must do research on human fetuses is because they are human, not animal. In a it-shouldn’t-happen to a dog story, 47 senators voted in 1974 to protect dogs from experimentation with poisonous gas but then voted down Sen. Jess Helm’s amendment to prevent federal funds from being used for abortion. One liberal, pro-abortion Senator gave an emotion laden speech to protect dogs. Man’s best friend came out better than man himself.
* The Diabetes Treatment Project at UCLA depends for its existence on the availability of pancreases from later term aborted fetuses.
* Even the baby’s placenta is sold to drug companies. Ever heard of Placenta Plus shampoo?

ABORTION MILLS … DEATH ROW FOR INFANTS
METHODS OF DEATH
SUCTION ASPIRATION
During first 12 weeks of pregnancy. A general anesthesia is given to the mother and her cervix I dilated. Then a suction curette, a hollow tube with a knife-edge tip, is inserted into the womb. This instrument is then connected to a vacuum machine by a transparent tube, which is 29 times more powerful than a household vacuum, tears the unborn child to pieces. These pieces are then sucked out thru the tube then discarded. *Any thoughts on how tearing skin and pulled apart bones feel?
DILATION & CURETTAGE (D&C)
During 1st & early 2nd trimester. A loop shaped knife or curette is inserted past the cervix, which cuts the baby into pieces. These pieces are scraped out thru the cervix and discarded. *Can you imagine being cut to pieces while fully awake and no anesthesia?
DILATION & EVACUATION (D&E)
Up to 18 weeks gestation. A pair of forceps is inserted into the womb to grasp part of the fetus. The teeth of the forceps twist and tear the calcified bones of the unborn child., This process is repeated until the baby is totally dismembered and removed. Sometimes the head is too large and must be crushed for removal. *Ever twisted an ankle? Well imagine it being twisted till it comes off.
SALINE ABORTION OR SALT POISONING
After the 16th week of pregnancy. A needle is inserted thru the abdominal wall, thru the uterine wall and into the amniotic sac. Some of the amniotic fluid is removed and replaced with a concentrated salt solution. The unborn child breathes in and swallows the salt and is poisoned. The mother goes into labor and a dead baby is delivered 24 to 48 hours later. This method is so dangerous to the mother that it is banned in Sweden and Japan. *Ever got water up your nose? Imagine breathing salt water into your lungs.
HYSTEROTOMY
During late 2nd & 3rd trimester of pregnancy. This abortion is similar to a cesarean delivery, except its purpose is to kill rather than save. Almost all babies from these abortions are born alive. The abdomen and womb are opened surgically, the baby is lifted out and the umbilical cord is clamped. The child often struggles before dying. Some have survived this procedure.
PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION (D&X)
This method is used at 26 weeks of pregnancy or later. D&X stands for ‘Dilation and Extraction.’ At this stage of development, the toughness of the fetal tissue makes the D&E method difficult. After dilating the cervix for 2 days, the abortionist uses ultrasound to locate the fetus’ legs. One leg is pulled into the vagina with forceps, then the other leg and torso are delivered by hand. The head of the fetus remains in the uterus. Using a blunt tipped surgical scissor in a closed position, the abortionist pierces the fetus’ head at the base of the skull, then opens the scissors to enlarge the hole. A suction catheter is inserted into the womb and the skulls contents are vacuumed out. The corpse is then pulled from the mothers body. *It is said that this method of murder is only used in the case of it being a danger to the mothers health to have the baby. HMMMM … maybe I am missing something here … isn’t she having the baby anyway … only difference is it is dead now. An explanation as to how this would save her life would be greatly appreciated … but so far I haven’t gotten one. Oh and by the way the reason they kill it before the head is delivered is because if they did it after the head was out … it would be murder. No matter how you try to edge around it … it is MURDER ANYWAY!
Here is a disturbing scene. A nurse witnesses a Partial Birth Abortion (PBA).
“I stood at the Dr’s side and watched him perform a PBA on a woman who was 6 months pregnant. The baby’s heartbeat was clearly visible on the ultrasound screen. The Dr. delivered the baby’s body, everything but his little head. The baby was moving. His little fingers were clasping and he was kicking his feet. The Dr. took a pair of scissors and inserted them into the back of the baby’s head, and the baby’s arms jerked out in a flinch, like one does when he thinks he will fall. Then the Dr. opened the scissors, stuck a high powered suction tube into the hole and sucked the brains out. Now the baby was completely limp. I never went back to that clinic but I am still haunted by the face of that little boy.”
IS THERE PAIN FOR THE PRE-BORN?
The fetus can feel pain at 20 weeks. This is a conservatively late estimate but is scientifically solid. Elements of the pain-conveying system begin to be assembled at 7 weeks; enough development has occurred by 12-14 weeks that some pain perception is likely, and continues to build thru the 2nd trimester. By 20 weeks the spino-thalamic system (pain conveying system) is fully established and connected.
A 20-30 week old fetus will actually feel more pain than an adult. The period between 20-30 weeks is a uniquely vulnerable time, since the pain system is fully established, yet the higher level pain-modifying system has barely begun to develop.
What about the anesthesia the mother is given you ask? Well read on.
The effect of maternal anesthesia on the fetus’ capacity to experience pain depends on the type of anesthetic, the dosage given and the method of administration. To reach the fetus, a drug administered to the mother would have to avoid metabolism by the maternal liver, enter the maternal bloodstream, cross the placental membrane, reach the fetal circulation in sufficient concentrations and cross the fetal blood/brain barrier to produce significant clinical effects on the fetus. Methods that are routinely applied, for example, a pudendal nerve block, epidural, anesthesia, or other methods of local/regional anesthesia would provide no protection against pain to the fetus. General anesthetics (inhalational anesthetics and certain opiates, such as fentanyl and sufentanyl) can provide some degree of pain relief to the fetus, because they steadily cross the placental barrier and fetal blood/brain barrier. Nevertheless, studies of drug efficacy using anesthetic agents show that the fetus would require higher concentration of anesthetics in the fetal circulation to achieve the same clinical anesthetic effects as occurring on the mother. Thus, doses of anesthesia that would be toxic to the mother will be required to ensure that the fetus experiences no pain during a surgical procedure.
NOW WHAT?
If after reading all of these atrocities, your heart is still beating, run, don’t walk, to your nearest prayer closet and pray!
If we as God’s people continue to stand idly by and do nothing to try and stop it, well face it, we are just as guilty as the ones performing these murders and the mothers going to have their babies killed. God says that it is better that a millstone be tied around your neck as to hurt one of his lil ones.
