The Silent Scream

Still thinking about the abortion debate? Here's something everyone should see before they make up their mind.  There are five videos.  They should be listed below in the right order from segment one, to segment five.

>>61 Appearance is unimportant, yet unique personality is not. If the foetus has started to amass experiences, then it is human. Just because it is developing and has some complexity in its cellular organization is not enough, because then ejaculation and menstruation is murder too. The problem is that christians keep pre-teens and teens away from good sexual knowledge (thanks, Bush), birth control and such liberties. This backfires, since this mystifying and seclusion only entices (thanks, Bush), and then there's the fact that sexual experience is part of pubescent development. Thus, girls get pregnant, abortion clinics are far away (thanks, Bush) and then there's the fear of ostracization and blame that society applies to sexually active girls (thanks, evangelicals) even though abortion before the third trimester is no more murder than scratching one's arm, and the christians try to keep teens in the dark about everything that has to do with sex. When so few abortions occur once sentience can be claimed, I think pro-choicers have more reasons to be angry than pro-lifers. Better birth control, better sex education, less religion in the debate, better treatment of single mothers and better treatment of and influence on teens, then we can talk about a ban after a critical threshold of proven sentience and unique mind in the fetus. Until then, we pro-choicers don't have to defend ourselves. We are what we learn, and just because the conservatives say over and over that people can shape themselves exclusively doesn't make it so.
