The Hidden Suffering of Babies
in the Womb and the Truth Society Tries to Hide
Abortion is certainly among the biggest moral
wounds that our generation has experienced. Beyond political rhetoric, medical
speak, and societal conversations, one truth exists: abortion kills children.
It is not a medical issue. It is not about “choice.” It is not about
convenience or schedules. It is about intentionally killing innocents.
Life starts at conception, and it is not a
theory, nor is it a religious or philosophical view. It is, rather, a
biological truth. The moment sperm meets egg, a new human life is formed, with
its own full set of DNA. It is not “the mother’s body” but rather “a new person
in her body.” This new person has all of the information needed to develop into
a fully formed human being." Nothing needs to be added. Only time,
nutrients, and protection are required.
However, instead of being protected, millions
of these precious lives are brutally destroyed every year. And one thing that
society desperately, desperately attempts to cover up is that babies in utero
experience pain. Babies in utero react to touch, to sound, to stress, and most
profoundly—to discomfort. Babies in utero react to abortion procedures. They
struggle. They recoil. Their heart rates accelerate. Their entire bodies react
to the pain they are experiencing. One thing that no one can ever forget, one
thing that no one can ever ignore, is how babies in utero try to get out of the
way of the instruments during an ultrasound; during an abortion.
This isn't hypothesizing. This is something
that can be seen, has happened, and has scientific backing. Babies are
experiencing pain well ahead of when pro-choice advocates are willing to
acknowledge. Babies are developing at rapid rates, and they are able to
perceive pressure and respond to distressing stimuli even within the first
trimester. Babies are able to feel the pain of sharp stimuli, as well as the
forceful power of suction, well ahead of when many abortions are occurring.
When abortion procedures start, the womb, which
God created to be the “safest” spot on earth, becomes one filled with terror.
The Reality Behind Abortion
Procedures
Abortion is often couched in medical
terminology, but the procedures themselves are testimony to the truth about it:
violent, painful death.
1. Suction Abortions (First Trimester)
Such dismembersments involve the usage of a
suction device that has very great force, stronger than that in a vacuum
cleaner. The force separates various body parts, including limbs, intestines,
and tissues. The baby always shows a reaction to the incision entry, attempting
to move away prior to withdrawal.
2. Dilation and Evacuation (Second Trimester)
This involves using forceps. The abortion
doctor goes into the womb to deliberately rip off the hands and legs of the
baby. The head is crushed to ensure its removal. At this stage, the baby has
its heart beating, its fingers are fully formed, and it can experience pain
very strongly.
3. Chemical Abortions
The drugs are employed to starve the baby,
causing either cessation of heartbeats or contracting the womb wildly to push
the baby out. The mother is usually left bleeding and in pain as the baby dies
within her.
4.Late Term Abortion
This entails injecting deadly chemicals into
the baby's heart. What is seen on ultrasounds is babies twisting, kicking, and
even opening their mouths out of distress from when the chemicals start to
work.
Whatever method is used, it achieves the same
thing: the child suffers, then dies.
Yet behind terms such as “choice,”
“reproductive rights,” and “healthcare” lie harsh realities. Healthcare does
not kill. Healthcare protects. Abortion does the reverse.
Babies Feel Pain—and They
Suffer Greatly
Contemporary science verifies something that
many mothers know instinctively: babies can also feel pain within the womb.
Babies exhibit violent movements in reaction to procedures that invade their
space. Cortisol levels (stress hormones) elevate. Their hearts beat quickly.
When physicians conduct fetal surgeries on babies to save their lives, they
administer anesthesia to them, meaning they can feel pain. This baby, at this
same stage, does not receive any care during an abortion.
In lieu of administering pain relief,
dismembering, burning, crushing, or poisoning via chemicals is inflicted on the
infant.
If this kind of treatment were to happen to an
animal, everyone would be outraged and they should be because animals are innocent. But since this victim is out of
sight, and voiceless, society is not interested. However, whether seen or
unseen, it is suffering. And it cries out to God.
Life Begins at Conception; and God is the
Author of That Life
From conception, every baby is not ‘a cluster
of cells.’ It is a person with purpose. God is the One who molds life in the
womb. Scripture says;
·
“Before I formed you in the
womb, I knew you."
·
“Thou didst knit me together
in my mother's womb.”
·
“Children are a heritage from
the Lord."
Each child is a work of God. Each beat in her
body is precious. To destroy that is to destroy something God has created.
Abortion Hurts Women Too
One of the biggest lies told to women is that
abortion will set them free, that it will solve their problems. But thousands
of stories prove otherwise. Many women suffer:
1. Long-term
guilt
2. Depression
3. Trauma
4. Shame
5. Hormonal
damage
6. Emotional
numbness
7. Lack
of bonding with later children
Abortion doesn't heal. It wounds. Deeply. And
many women find that the pain lasts for years.
Abortion not only kills the baby but also
shatters the heart of the mother.
Women deserve better. They deserve compassion
and support, not to mention solutions for their problems, rather than to
undergo a speedy fix that offers only a lifetime of scars.
Women Should Be Encouraged to
Choose Life
No woman must ever be pressured or cornered
into undergoing Abortions. Always, loving alternatives exist:
1. Adoption
2. Support
programs
3. Crisis
pregnancy centers
4. Counseling
5. Family
or community assistance
To choose life is to act courageously. To
choose life is to give life to the baby and hope to the mother instead of
experiencing regret. Mothers who once considered abortion but later chose to
give birth also can't imagine their existence with the child they almost lost.
Every woman ought to know her truth:
Abortion won't solve your problems – it’ll
create new ones.
However, life offers peace, love, and the
satisfaction that comes with nurturing the life you carry within you.
Every Baby Matters. Every Life
is Sacred.
Abortion is murder, not for political or
religious or opinion reasons but for the purpose of ending the life of an
unborn child. It causes pain, suffering, and death to one so small that they
cannot defend themselves.
Each baby in the womb is actually a human with
dignity and purpose, and each mom has the power to protect that life. If you
are pregnant and scared, you are not alone.
If you are one who has had an abortion, know
that God provides forgiveness, healing, and restoration. Unless you are still
weighing alternatives, let everyone know that it is always better to choose
life instead of abortion.
Choose the way of compassion. Always choose the path of courage. Choose the future you and your baby deserve. Every heartbeat is a miracle. Each child is a gift. And no matter how insignificant, every life must be saved.
