Children playing in Tobago

The February edition of CG7’s Now What magazine has a link related to an article on abortion called “Get the Facts”

It states:

Get the Facts

What abortion is really all about. by Denise Irvine

If you are faced with an unplanned pregnancy, be sure to get the facts in order to make an informed decision. It’s hard to think clearly when you’re feeling stressed or anxious, and it’s hard to imagine the impact this one decision will have on your future. Before you decide about your unborn child, understand that the right to choose includes the right to know.

For example, did you know that the moment an egg is fertilized by a sperm, every detail of the baby’s development (sex, hair and eye color, height, etc.) is already determined? Did you know that the twenty-first day after conception the baby’s heart begins to beat, and at six weeks old, brain waves can be detected? Did you know that by the ninth week, internal organs are functioning and that by the thirteenth week, the baby can move vigorously and make a tight fist?…

Millions of women have had abortions. Some claim no regrets; however, many face a startling awareness years later when they become pregnant for a planned child. They wish they had seen an ultrasound or had been told about the remarkable abilities of their unborn baby before making that decision.

Of course abortion in murder and is wrong. Although it allowed it in the past, even the Roman Catholic Church has been against it the past couple of centuries.
