Think About It

From Randy Alcorn's book "Why Pro Life?"

"At conception, the unborn doesn't appear human to us who are used to judging humanity by appearance. Nevertheless, in the objective scientific sense he is every bit as human as any older child or adult. He looks like a human being ought to at his stage of development."

From Scott Klusendorf's book "Pro-Life 101: A Step-by-Step Guide to Making Your Case Persuasively."

 "There are only four differences between a pre-born and a newborn. They can be remembered through the acronym SLED:

SIZE - Does how big you are determine who you are?

LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT - Are twenty-year-olds more human than ten-year-olds, since they are smarter and stronger?

ENVIRONMENT- Does being inside a house make you more or less of a person than being outside? Does being located in his mother's body rather than outside make a child less human?

DEGREE OF DEPENDENCY - Does dependence upon another determine who you are? Is someone with Alzheimer's or on kidney dialysis less of a person? Am I, an insulin-dependent diabetic, less of a person than before I contracted the disease?

THE QUESTION IS NOT HOW OLD OR BIG OR SMART OR INCONVENIENT THE UNBORN ARE, BUT WHO THEY ARE. THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE - THEY ARE HUMAN BEING."
