A Brethren Answer to Abortion Part 3 - My body, my choice

This is probably the biggest, and most widely used argument that this author has run across. Minus the hypocrisy of the ones stating this, this argument is also sad in that it does not follow the science. As the reader, you know the statement that is often used to make the case for such things as Global Warm...sorry, Climate Change, Transgender, Homosexuality, using untested, and unsure vaxines, and even social structures that defy norms that have been longstanding for generations. The mantra, "FOLLOW THE SCIENCE", usually screamed and blurted through bull horns, and against those who disagree, and want to have proof.

The problem is those who use this argument think they are winning the debate by appealing to "Science" actually violate Science in their arguments as well! Therefore, they are only wanting us to follow Science...IF, IF, IF, it agrees with their preconceived notions! That is not Science. In our defense of life against abortion, let us "FOLLOW THE SCIENCE".

What does Science tell us? When it comes to an unborn baby in the mother's womb, how does this baby match up to science? My body, my choice? Wrong. The Science has spoken, and will be documented here:

The unborn Baby is separate from his mother: https://www.epm.org/resources/2010/Mar/29/unborn-part-mothers-body/

The Baby's genetics are uniquely separated from the mother, very early on: https://www.timesonline.com/story/opinion/letters/2019/09/01/an-unborn-baby-is-distinct/4293119007/

Even scientists argue for heartbeat very early on, not the mother's heartbeat, but the child's: https://www.al.com/opinion/2022/09/science-shouts-the-humanity-of-the-unborn-whether-abrams-likes-it-or-not.html

We could go on and on here, but suffice one more to put a nice bow on this: https://abort73.com/abortion/mothers_body/. No caption will be given due to the desire for the readers to read this report for himself.

So, how does this work out for those who are making this case? Not good as one will see reading just the few reports mentioned above. Sadly, most will ignore what is being said. Not because these arguments are false, but they want to be unfettered from responsibility. Sad. A good way to view this argument is from the media and government fueled hype about the whole "Covid" vaxxine. What was said? It was said, "Take it or you will face consequences!". "No Jab, No Job". "You must take it to save someone else's grandmother!". "You science denier". "You murderer". "All non vaxxed should be put into camps". Yes, these are real statements.

Sadly, when those who were unvaxxed argued against it, and they used the very phrase, "What about: My Body, My Choice". That was immediately tossed out as being ignorant. Well, hold on there. How can it work when it comes to a GENETICALLY individualistic baby and the desire to murder, sorry, abort that baby, but when a fully functioning adult decides to use that argument against the social pressures and government, it becomes unacceptable? These individuals cannot make their cake and eat it too.

When it comes to babies in the womb, they are distinct. They are separate. They are their own individual! They express themselves with food, they are their own being. Yes, they have nourishment from the mother, but their genetics are able to be separated from the mother. This argument decides that REAL scientific proof is not worth following because it goes against the desire of the one using the statement. This is not science. This is denial. This is not following the evidence. This is evasion. This argument, probably of all of them, is the most irksome and ignorant of them all. Not the weakest, but the most ignorant.

Another argument to be made, if it is not your body, but it is your choice, why is it the choice is always the Baby's body is destroyed? Interesting how the mother has no problem destroying the baby but does all she can to preserve herself. That is not a mother. Let us follow the science. The baby, scientifically proven, shown, and evidenced given that it is a SEPARATE AND DISTINCT being inside the mother, growing, maturing, and developing as a baby should.

This post, has come across a little harsher, but that is because this author, of all the arguments, probably detests this one the most. It is sick how this argument is twisted to fit narratives, only to be discharged because the individual does not like the consequences. We will deal with consequences at the conclusion.
