‘“DEFINE LIFE”, one particularly obtuse abortion apologist asked on my page.
The 1973 SCOTUS, which set in play nearly 50 years of industrialised abortion taking the lives of over 63 million preborn babies, deliberated on the same question.
They deliberately ignored that Hippocrates (c. 460 โ c. 370 BC), the “Father of Medicine”, knew the answer way back then, and the ethical oath all doctors took for millennia which said, “๐ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐จ๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ข ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ข ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด๐ข๐ณ๐บ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ค๐ข๐ถ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ.”
They also ignored the fact that, decades before Roe v. Wade, the General Assembly of the World Medical Association at Geneva in 1948 updated the Physician’s Oath to say, “๐ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ข๐ช๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ถ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ด๐ต ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ค๐ต ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ญ๐ช๐ง๐ฆ ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ, ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต, ๐ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ถ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ณ๐บ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ข๐ธ๐ด ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ๐ช๐ต๐บ.”
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights occurred 3 months later, making that document contextualised by the prior definition of human life.
Instead, the 1973 Supreme Courtโs Roe v. Wade decision listed experts who might be considered most qualified to determine when life begins.
In 2019, 3,883 Americans were given the same choices of biologists, religious leaders, voters, philosophers, or Supreme Court justices as the group of experts most qualified to determine when life begins. 62% of the sample identified as “pro-choice”.
80% of Americans selected biologists as the group to answer the question of when life begins. 92% of those said they selected biologists because they are experts in science and they are objective scientists.
The researcher then took survey questions to 5,577 biologists from over a thousand academic institutions in 86 countries. According to the study, the sample of biologists was predominantly:
โข non-religious (63%),
โข liberal (89%),
โข Democrats (92%), and
โข pro-choice supporters (85%).
The study found 96% of biologists affirmed the view that a humanโs life begins at fertilisation.
Expanding the “qualified experts” to all voters, a 2018 Marist poll found that, regardless of political affiliation, more Americans view life as beginning at conception than at any other point during pregnancy. Of those surveyed:
โข 47% said life begins at conception, while
โข 15% said during the first trimester,
โข 10% said during the second trimester
โข 14% said at viability outside the womb, and
โข 10% said life begins at birth.
Defining life is hardest for willfully ignorant people who prefer a less scientific answer to better suit their subjective, political agenda – just like the intellectually dishonest, 1973 SCOTUS.’ An Email from https://goodsauce.news/author/dave-pellowe/
