Viability

Viability is now the big buzzword being thrown around now in the abortion debate. The word has popped up every now and then in the battle over saving the pre-born, but seems to be the ‘new’ big word in the argument again .

Consider what Randy Acorn says in his book ‘ProLife Answers to ProChoice Arguments’:

Viability is an arbitrary concept… In Roe V. Wade, the Supreme Court defined viability as the point when the unborn is "potentially able to live outside the mother’s womb, albeit with artificial aid". The critical issue in when this point is reached is the development of the child’s lungs.

But why make worthiness to live dependent upon the development of the lungs? Why not say he becomes human in the fourth week because that’s when his heart beats? Or the sixth week because that’s when he has brain waves? (Both are also arbitrary, yet both would eliminate all abortions currently performed). Someone could argue that personhood begins when the unborn first sucks his thumb or responds to light and noise. Or why not say that personhood begins when the child first takes his first step or his potty trained?

There is only one objective point of origin for any human being – and only one point at which there was not a human being a moment ago, and there is now. That point is conception.

That concept was not above John McCain’s pay grade to figure out. McCain understands the value and worth of the pre-born and seeks to protect them. In our day of technology, it is pure hogwash that we 'really aren't sure when life begins'. Does Senator Obama not care that the lives of our nations babies are being extinguished by saline solutions? Does Senator Obama not care that perfectly formed hand and arms and feet and legs are being torn off of our pre-born babies? Can anyone really believe that 'mankind is basically good'? Who gave us the right to do such atrocities? The Supreme Court?

There is only One Supreme Court, and it is in that courtroom that our nation will be judged for its failure to protect our innocent human lives.

Vote Pro-Life. You will be saving your future.
