OPINION:
The recent elections make vitally clear that all people, organizations and political parties valuing human life must stop using the term abortion.
The word abortion is a euphemism that makes the taking of a human life sound innocuous. It originally meant “to bring to a premature end because of a problem or fault.” It did not describe ending a human life.
We know that a fertilized human egg is human in origin, human in purpose and produces a boy or a girl in nine months. In 2003, science
added a vital reality to that obvious fact. The 18-nation, $3 billion Human Genome Project, organized and largely funded by the Energy Department and National Institutes of Health, established that the complete, unique human genome comes into existence the instant the human sperm fertilizes the human egg.
The human genome holds all human characteristics, so that everything we see in a person’s physical presence today was present when sperm fertilized egg.
Tragically, there have been over 63 million prenatal deaths in the United States since Roe v. Wade. Those deaths have hit African Americans hardest, killing over 23 million African American babies. The political and social consequences today of that loss of life are enormous.
The native peoples of Europe and North America are committing racial suicide due to the lack of a replacement birthrate. This invisible tragedy can be avoided if their citizens start to take full responsibility for the most significant thing a man and a woman can do: create a human being.
A critical place to start is educating the public to understand the tragic reality hidden by the term “abortion.” It is vitally important that the general public stop using that word and call it what it is: prenatal death.
