DECEPTIVE AND CONFUSING LANGUAGE

First, Know That Scientific Fact Supports The Pro-Life Cause



The pro-choice strategy has been to twist scientific facts into "scientific myths" to support their cause. They have gone to the extent of making up their own "scientific" terminology such as "pre-embryo" and redefining common terminology such as conception to mean implantation instead of fertilization. By using deceptive and confusing language, they have successfully been able to pass legislation allowing cloning and embryonic stem cell research.

There are three interrelated levels of lies involved in abortion advocacy.

Lies To Achieve Political Ends
These include the old lies about women dying in droves before legalization. The goal of these lies is to convince people that they should trust abortion-advocacy organizations to set public policy in order to protect women"s lives and well-being. People tell these lies in order to obtain and maintain political power, and to pursue their social-engineering agendas.

Lies To Get People To Trust Abortion Facilities
These include lies about the "services" offered in abortion facilities, and the safety of abortion. The goal of these lies is to get people to turn to abortion facilities for help if they so much as suspect pregnancy. These lies are told both to keep abortion rates high, which gains political clout for the abortion lobby, and to generate income for abortion facilities.

Lies Told To Sell The Abortion
These are the lies told on-site to women to get them to consent to abortion. These lies are told to sell abortions and make a profit, to achieve social engineering ends by getting certain women to abort, and to maintain a high abortion rate to keep up the political clout of the abortion lobby.

Be alert to DECEPTIVE AND CONFUSING LANGUAGE used to disguise the abortion-advocacy agenda.

WHEN DO HUMAN BEINGS BEGIN?

"The question as to when the physical material dimension of a human being begins via sexual reproduction is strictly a scientific question, and fundamentally should be answered by human embryologists -- not by philosophers, bioethicists, theologians, politicians, x-ray technicians, movie stars, or obstetricians and gynecologists."
- and so begins the Introduction to WHEN DO HUMAN BEINGS BEGIN? "SCIENTIFIC" MYTHS AND SCIENTIFIC FACTS By Dianne N. Irving, M.A., Ph.D.; International Journal of Sociology and Social Policy 1999, 19:3/4:22-47

Dr. Irving then presents "Basic Human Embryological Facts" to help one "recognize the many scientifically inaccurate claims that have been advanced in the discussions about abortion, human embryo research, cloning, stem cell research, the formation of chimeras, and the use of abortifacients -- and why these discussions obfuscate the objective scientific facts" into "scientific" myths, a sampling of 14 of which Dr. Irving explains in detail.

Dr. Irving"s science paper is also available on the Pharmacists for Life International website as a Word document.
