"Not fit to be a mother, but fit to be a killer."
Thoroughly Modern American Millie
If it is accurate and honest to condemn women as immoral killers if they abort a pregnancy then, if we are honest the morality of other kinds of killings, war and genocide and corporate killing for profit need to be examined also.
Contrast and compare killings and decide which are the really immoral.
Abortion
% of abortions performed each week of gestation
1-6 weeks. 34.2% of all abortions are performed on or before 6 weeks
a 6 week non-sentient embryo; it is about 12mm (1/2 inch) long and weighs less than an ounce. The nervous system has not developed. It cannot feel pain. It is not conscience of its being.
7 weeks. 17.8%
8 weeks. 13.3%
9 weeks. 8.9%
10 weeks. 5.6%
a 10week non-sentient fetus it is about 25mm (2 inches) long and weighs 2 ounces. It cannot feel pain because there is no connection between the developing brain and what will eventually become the spinal cord.
by the 10th week 79.8 of all abortions have been performed.
Abortion is the painless stopping of the non-sentient life of a potential human because a woman and her family believe they can not provide a safe, stable and loving environment that all children need in order to grow into adults that contribute to society instead of take.
War and genocide are the killing of innocent, sentient humans, aware of pain, torture, starvation, and impending death.
At least 108 million people were killed in wars in the twentieth century. Estimates for the total number killed in wars throughout all of human history range from 150 million to 1 billion. (NYT July,2003)
Between 1525 and 1866, according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, 12.5*million*Africans were shipped to the New World. 10.7 million survived the dreaded Middle Passage, disembarking in North America, the Caribbean and South America. (PBS “The African Americans”)
Millions of American Indians killed.
70,237 drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States in 2017. Opioids—mainly synthetic opioids (other than methadone)—are currently the main driver of drug overdose deaths. Opioids were involved in 67.8% overdose deaths in 2017 (from CDC statistics)
Rwanda genocide killed between 500,000 and 1,000,000 Tutsi, Twa and moderate Hutus.
The Holocaust: 6,000,000 Jews, Eastern Europeans, Russians, Gypsies, infirm and deformed were killed.
These killings were deliberately planned to create maximum physical and mental suffering in individuals and to society. The immorality of abortion is tiny compared to the immorality of war, genocidal killings and corporate profit.
