Pro-Life Syllogism

I have leapfrogged this article in its entirety, with a word correction, from Atheism Analyzed by Stan who highlighted it from the original post, the blog, Scientiam Dei:

Here is Francis J. Beckwith's pro-life syllogism:

1. The unborn entity, from the moment of conception, is a full-fledged member of the human community*.
2. It is prima facie morally wrong to [murder] any member of that community.
3. Every successful abortion [murders] an unborn entity, a full-fledged member of the human community.
4. Therefore, every successful abortion is prima facie morally wrong.¹

*Support for Premise 1.


¹ Found in: Scott Klusendorf, The Case for Life: Equipping Christians to Engage the Culture (Wheaton: Crossway Books, 2009) p. 29. Originally from: Francis J. Beckwith, Defending Life: A Moral and Legal Case Against Abortion Choice (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2007).

Stan adds, "To deny that every human - every human - went through the prenatal stages of human life including the division of cells and all embryo stages can be seen as nothing short of dishonest. To claim the moral authority to determine which stage of human life they think is acceptable to [murder] is an onerous claim. The idea that Atheism is more empathetic is absurd, unless the value of human life is discounted in advance, and the Atheist is elevated beyond his actual position as just another human, not a moral judge or determiner of life and death for other innocent humans.

No excuse can defeat the fact that human life always starts with cell division and that killing those cells kills a human life at that particular stage. This is not defeated by any appeal to the condition of the mother, the ability of the embryo to feel pain, or any other rationalized permission to [murder] the human at that stage, and only in a triage situation can such decisions be made which would kill the embryo or mother with moral impunity.

The much vaunted Atheist "empathy" has not been extended to the more than 50,000,000 humans [murdered] by abortion in the United States. "

I am sure you will notice that I changed the 'kills' to "murder" as to be more accurate and truthful.

I found it completely telling that Stan was able to articulate the exact arguments I hear daily, on this blog or in my group, from the Atheists. How can a worldview, a position that stands on an argument from incredulity, possibly be so sure?

This post was almost a Déjà vu as a few days ago I asked in the group: Are you absolutely certain that is NOT a person inside of the woman deserving rights and freedoms as any other person? If so, how are you absolutely certain?

UPDATE: this post is on the heals of a new video released just today revealing Planned Parenthood encouraging  Sex-Selective Abortions like China, from Live Action.

Ron Paul 2012

"Only in America - someone who supports peace over war, is labeled as an "extremist".

Only in America - someone who will end war on drugs, and release majority of blacks from prison, back to their families & kids, is labeled as "Racist".

Only in America - someone who will bring an end to never ending inflation, boom and bust business cycles, is labeled as naive in monetary policies

Only in America - someone who gets more contributions from vets, than all other candidates combined, is labeled isolationist

Only in America - someone who puts America before Israel is labelled as anti-semitic.

Yes my friends - that's how media, owned by Big Corporations and Wall Street is trying to steal our future.

The one I am for is Ron Paul in 2012---Awesome" ~United States Marine Jason Thompson

American Holocaust!

Since that proverbial "Cat" is indeed out of that bag. Let's discuss it.

May the bridges I burn light the way!

Ray Comfort's newest video called "180" was released and quickly spread over the internet because someone in his organization decided it would be perfectly safe to name the password the same as the name of the website where it resides: HeartChanger

This oversight was not the best decision, and "security" was probably not the focus to be so obvious, but all that glory goes to God for getting the word out and the message across to those that NEED to hear it and get this discussion going. Thanks Ray for the "mistake" *wink. Moving on.

Planned Parenthood Lies Continue!

Planned Parenthood CEO’s False Mammogram Claim Exposed.

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 30–A series of new undercover phone calls reveals that contrary to the claims of Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards and other supporters of the nation’s largest abortion chain, the organization does not provide mammograms for women.

"PP is not able to provide quality services on their own, so they are forced to lie to the public about services they don't provide--and mammograms are just one of those services."

In the tapes,...(Read More)

Call and write Congress to have them revoke all taxpayer subsidies from Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood, Rape Aid!

Lets even say there were no videos exposing these things at all (which their are). To have a policy to help 13 year old's, or younger, get abortions without parental consent, or alerting the authorities, is aiding in rape. Statutory rape is still rape.

They NEVER ask, and don't care, for the father to be present to see for themselves, as an investigation tool if nothing else, to identify if a rape has indeed occurred or not. They DON'T CARE if it did happen. They just HIDE it. They are accomplices to rapists if by their POLICY ALONE. They do not aid the raped, they aid rapists!

Planned Parenthood Aids Pimp’s Underage Sex Ring

Planned Parenting was caught covering up the statutory rape of underage girls and enabling sexual abusers. Well, now Planned Parenting wants to "help out" Pimps also.

NEW JERSEY – February 1, 2011– A Planned Parenthood manager in New Jersey coaches a man and a woman posing as sex traffickers how to secure secret abortions, STD testing, and contraception for their female underage sex slaves, and make their whole operation “look as legit as possible” in an undercover video released this morning.

Unbirthday

A dear friend of all of ours, Jill Stanek, wanted everyone to know what is going on this day. These are very sad days, and we MUST talk about this subject as a society.

Now, Jill Stanek , an RN, became nationally known for discovering and subsequent whistle blowing, the practice of “live birth abortions” at her hospital. This took on national implications during the 2008 presidential campaign when it became known Barack Obama opposed legislation to stop infanticide as an Illinois state senator.

Understand that this was the same state where Jill found these “live birth abortions” being performed. Obama opposed the bill!

Jill was even named as the “Worst Person in the World!” by MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermann on June 4, 2009.

Even yesterday, former Sen. Rick Santorum is thankfully still screaming about Obama's position on Abortion, "Santorum notes that for decades, slavery allowed African-Americans to be treated like property. And he says fetuses are denied the right to life because they are considered property."

This day is also on the heels of some absolutely horrific evil that all of you may have heard of. First, the multimillionaire Kermit Gosnell was thankfully caught and arrested for using scissors to snip the many babies spines that he was aborting that had survived.

Triumph. A call to us all!

Gianna Jessen survived her mother's abortion. Lecture held September 8th, 2008 Queen's Hall, Melbourne.

Abortions are intentioned not to go well. The description of "well" doesn't even come close to this result. She triumphed, all the glory goes to God.

God bless GW. Bush and Congress, for passing the The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA) with the help of my friend Jill Stanek, of course.

Our War-Abortion

YCRBYCHI

An Aids victim pleaded with Mother Theresa as she made her rounds in the hospice, to pray for a cure for Aids. Mother Theresa replied, "I have already prayed to God for healing for Aids, and God's answer to me was "the one I sent to you was aborted in his mother's womb"

Get Involved!!!

Update: As a follow up I was just told of a movie that will be coming out soon.
