(getting a shot to "flush" the embryo out of your system at 5 or 6 weeks gestation is QUITE different from a 27 week abortion)
This is the problem women go in and get abortions with out even knowing the fetal development. Beating heart arms legs. Brain waves detected. Many people believe they are just removing a little ball of tissue. The problem is it is a little ball of tissue that looks like a baby.

The problem is it is a little ball of tissue that looks like a baby.
There are also countless plastic objects that resemble babies in Toys R Us and other toy shops across the globe. These also look kind of like babies, but aren't.
That clump of cells may have irregularities that would develop into limbs, etc, and a clump of darker cells that may become organs, but they aren't yet.
You can insist on calling a green banana a banana all you want, but you still can't eat it until it's ripe either.
I think that's enough analogies for now.

Not at five weeks, it doesn't.
C'mon everybody sing!
If you don't know what you're talkin' 'bout, shut up.
If you don't know what you're talkin' 'bout, shut up.
You act as if you're wise,
But you're just making up lies,
If you don't know what you're talkin' 'bout, shut up.
The more humanlike the fetus is, the less excuse it has to ignore my BD. Having a heartbeat doesn't allow 5 year olds to steal bone marrow, why should it allow a fetus to steal a uterus?
Plus, it looks more like a deformed seahorse than a baby at that point.
I once took a picture of 8 week old human embryo and then rat and pig embryos of similar development and showed them to bunch of prolifers claiming there's nothing human in it.
Out of all three, they picked up the cutest one (that happened to be the rat) and started saying how precious this little baby is.
Anyone with Myspace account wanna do the same? I can find those three images, it's not a problem. :P
Oh, yeah, like you really care about that unborn baby.
You don't, of course. You can't stand the idea that a woman who has SEX!!! outside of marriage shouldn't be "punished" for it by forced single motherhood. The "It's a child, not a choice!" mantra is just your excuse to try and bring back the old Draconian laws.
Don't believe me? Okay, then, ask yourself -- where is your self-righteous indignation at the fate of unwanted babies after they're born?
Ice, You're brilliant.
I have dissected pregnant rats, and I can testify that fetal rats are pretty darn cute, but shouldn't you be able to recognize the species of the ting who'se rights you're defending?
do you have the pictures on the internet? I can't find good ones and I really want to try that.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
