If it isn't human, then what is it?

by Matt Slick

Pro-abortion people like to say that the life in the womb isn't human.  They have to say that in order to justify killing it, but take a look at the picture to the right and read the comment from the doctor.

"Years ago, while giving an anesthetic for a ruptured tubal pregnancy (at two months) I was handed what I believed to be the smallest human being ever seen. The embryo sac was intact and transparent. Within the sac was a tiny human male, swimming extremely vigorously in the amniotic fluid, while attached to the wall by the umbilical cord. The tiny human was perfectly developed, with long, tapering fingers, feet and toes. It was almost transparent as regards to the skin, and the delicate arteries and veins were prominent to the ends of the fingers. The baby was extremely alive and did not look at all like the photos and drawings of 'embryos' which I have seen."1

Is this not human?  Is this what we call "non-viable fetal material"?  Do you see the head and the arms?  If this is not human, what is it?  How can anyone say this isn't human life growing in the womb of the mother?

When we stay blind to truth, we abide in lies.  The truth is that the baby is there and needs nourishment, protection, and love.  Don't kill it because it is inconvenient.  Be responsible for your actions and don't make the little ones pay for your sins.
