This episode is to break down each point from the "Why I'm Pro-Life" elevator pitch. 1. Pro-science - overwhelming science consensus that a distinct human organism begins at conception. Alive, growing, human, you and I matter. 2. Social justice begins in the womb - every living human being is entitled to fundamental rights, and the most fundamental right is life itself. Being a burden on someone, whether a true burden or a perceived burden, is never justification for killing them. This turns into strong against the weak, and it kills the victim rather than addressing the social issue. 3. Against violence - act of extreme violence against the most vulnerable (dismembered, burned, induced heart attack, and discarded). 4. Against racism - abortion is the fruit of what began in the 1930's by Margaret Sanger the founder of Planned Parenthood that taught sterilization of minorities and disabled people because they were the "weeds of the earth." 5. Pro-woman - abortion degrades women, treats their fertility as a defect, and enables men to abuse and abandon them at their most vulnerable (One of the main issues for repeated abuse, rape, human trafficking). Abortion never empowers women, it only empowers the men who wish to exploit them. 6. Pro-family and motherhood – makes a mother and child enemies instead of the natural bond of love. 7. It's objectively wrong and it's cowardly and immoral for me to remain silent. Why aren’t you pro-life? Extra points: 1. Pro-health care - All doctors sign the Hippocratic oath to do no intentional harm, and healthcare is to improve or sustain life. In abortion, they endanger the health and traumatize the life of mother and deliberately kill a child. 2. Pro-justice and just laws - all laws are to protect and enhance lives. 3. Religion - was MLK making a merely religious argument?
