Subject: A mass of cells?

Listed below is a common objection you will hear from ill informed
abortionists. It's important that we address their fallacious arguments so
that we can finally accept what we've done as a nation.

And begin to rectify it.

You have my permission to redistribute this response to your friends and
family. Thank you for your willingness to spread the truth about abortion
because that is the best antidote to lies and falsehoods.

"A mass of cells inside the womb is not a child." - Robert Beria

Just so we're 100% clear. You believe that a baby with a beating heart, a
developing brain, and often ears that can hear is a "mass of cells"?

Is that the position you're taking?

Because the propaganda of the abortionists regarding what is actually being
killed is factually inaccurate. And I believe you're purposefully misleading
people with these incorrect statements.

I understand why abortionists want mothers to believe it's just a mass of
cells because that makes the psychological implications of what they're
doing easier to overcome. But for you to repeat these factually incorrect
statements tells me that you don't know the facts yourself.

You should stop calling it a mass of cells when 61.3% of babies are aborted
between the 4th and 9th week of development and the remaining 38.7% are
aborted during the 10th week or later.

Here is a link to the stats:

This is from the Mayo Clinic regarding the 4th week:
http://www.facebook.com/l/;http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/prenatal-care/PR00112

"Week 4: The embryonic period begins

The fourth week marks the beginning of the embryonic period, when the baby's
brain, spinal cord, heart and other organs begin to form. Your baby is now
1/25 of an inch long.

The embryo is now made of three layers. The top layer — the ectoderm — will
give rise to a groove along the midline of your baby's body. This will
become the neural tube, where your baby's brain, spinal cord, spinal nerves
and backbone will develop.

Your baby's heart and a primitive circulatory system will form in the middle
layer of cells — the mesoderm. This layer of cells will also serve as the
foundation for your baby's bones, muscles, kidneys and much of the
reproductive system.

The inner layer of cells — the endoderm — will become a simple tube lined
with mucous membranes. Your baby's lungs, intestines and bladder will
develop here." – Mayo Clinic

Is that the "mass of cells" you're talking about? What about the babies
aborted on the 10th week or later?

Here is what the Mayo Clinic says:

"Week 10: Neurons multiply

By now, your baby's vital organs have a solid foundation. The embryonic tail
has disappeared completely, and your baby has fully separated fingers and
toes. The bones of your baby's skeleton begin to form.

This week, your baby's brain will produce almost 250,000 new neurons every
minute.

Your baby's eyelids are no longer transparent. The outer ears are starting
to assume their final form, and tooth buds are forming as well. If your baby
is a boy, his testes will start producing the male hormone testosterone." –
Mayo Clinic

The truth isn't easy to stomach. It's no mass of cells we're killing Robert.
It's our children.

"God who gave us life, gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be
thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in
the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift from God? That they
are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country
when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep
forever...." – Thomas Jefferson
