Woman looking at pregnancy test

2. Abortion leaves emotional scars:

Most often a woman will feel the consequences of her decision within days of her abortion. If they don’t appear immediately, they will appear as she gets older.

Emotional scars include unexplained depression, a loss of the ability to get close to others, repressed emotions, a hardening of the spirit, thwarted maternal instincts (which may lead to child abuse or neglect later in life), intense feelings of guilt and thoughts of suicide.² Don’t be fooled —every abortion leaves emotional scars.

3. Abortion kills a baby:

Before you even know you’re pregnant, your baby’s heart begins to beat. At six weeks brain waves are measurable and your baby moves and responds to touch.

At eight weeks she is perfectly developed, with fingers and toes, even her own set of fingerprints. By ten weeks she can squint, swallow and suck her thumb.

If you tickled her nose she would move her head away. By eleven to 12 weeks all body systems are present and working.

All she needs to become a healthy newborn is time and nourishment. Nothing new develops after 12 weeks! What would you name her? Rebecca? Stephanie?
