...technological advancements have precipitously lowered the age of "viability" for an unborn child. A couple of years ago, a baby was born at 21 weeks and lived. She is now a toddler in good health. An extremely premature birth used to be a certain death sentence. Today babies born before the third trimester routinely survive. And there is no reason to think that we have reached the limit. Eventually, there will be no such thing as a non-viable gestational age.Read more here.
This is all quite awe-inspiring and wonderful — unless you are pro-abortion. These revolutions in medical technology are rendering the case for abortion more obsolete by the minute. Things have been tracking this way ever since the development of fetal ultrasounds, which gave us a window into the womb and revealed that the little human inside the uterus is indeed a little human. The introduction of fetal surgery yet again affirms this truth. Doctors would not be able to treat spina bifida in a clump of cells. They would not be able to repair birth defects in an inhuman mass of material. They can only conduct these delicate and complicated procedures because the patients are living human beings.
The claim that abortion is "necessary" has also suffered devastating blows. Of course, even without these medical marvels, it could never really be "necessary" to directly kill an innocent and defenseless human being. That is all the more the case now that any number of fetal defects and abnormalities can be treated. "Health of the mother" justifications are even less relevant, as women who experience catastrophic medical complications at any point from the middle of the second trimester onward can deliver and give both themselves and their children a chance to survive.
This is the position in which pro-aborts find themselves: rooting against life-saving scientific advancements. And this from the "compassionate," "pro-science" side of the aisle.
This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. It is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short. But God is love, forgiveness and grace. Those who believe in Him and repent of their sins have the promise of His Holy Spirit to guide us and show us the Way.
