"...A favorite pro-abortion tactic is
to insist that the definition of when life begins is impossible; that the
question is a theological or moral or philosophical one, anything but a scientific
one.
Fetology makes it undeniably evident that
life begins at conception and requires all the protection and safeguards that
any of us enjoy. Why, you may well ask, do some American doctors who are privy
to the findings of fetology, discredit themselves by carrying out abortions?
Simple arithmetic: at $300.00 a time 1.55 million abortions means an industry
generating $500,000,000 annually, of which most goes into the pocket of the
physician doing the abortion.
It is clear that permissive abortion is
purposeful destruction of what is undeniably human life. It is an impermissible
act of deadly violence. One must concede that unplanned pregnancy is a
wrenchingly difficult dilemma. But to look for its solution in a deliberate act
of destruction is to trash the vast resourcefulness of human ingenuity, and to
surrender the public weal to the classic utilitarian answer to social problems.
As a scientist I know, not believe, know
that human life begins at conception. Although I am not a formal religionist, I
believe with all my heart that there is a divinity of existence which commands
us to declare a final and irreversible halt to this infinitely sad and shameful
crime against humanity." Dr. Bernard Nathanson
