Police action proves unborn babies are alive and worth protecting

[BADecker]

This kind of thing happens all over the place... where police and other people save unborn babies at times... even when the mother is still alive. So, now we see how evil the medical is, that they would promote abortions - baby killing - for profit, and as an excuse say that they are protecting the mother from the harm of quack abortions.


Police action proves unborn babies are alive and worth protecting

A pregnant mother was shot dead in Philadelphia the other day. And thanks to police officers who quickly arrived on the scene, her unborn baby – yes, baby, not fetus – was able to be saved.

Proving once again that an unborn child is, in fact, a child and not just a clump of cells, the saving of this precious life deserves attention as it completely destroys the false narrative of the abortion cultists.

According to reports, the mother, 19-year-old Matayah Haynes of Camden, N.J., was 34 weeks pregnant when she was shot in the head in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philly.

Police officers rushed her baby to Temple University Hospital after realizing that it was still alive, even without its mother, said the Philadelphia Police Department in a statement.

At the time, the baby was in critical condition but stable, officers confirmed.

The shooting happened in the early morning hours around 1 a.m. The shooter is believed to have been a man driving a black or blue Chevrolet Camaro or Dodge Charger.
A pregnant woman is TWO people, not just one

Further details about the case are irrelevant for the purposes of this article, other than to say that a pregnant woman – and yes, only a real biological woman can get pregnant – is not just one person but two.

Well, what about the feminist reaction to this, if they agree that unborn child is worth to be saved then they are not deserved to be killed ( abortion ). Yeah this is what I want to ask among the women who carries my body my rights slogan.

Everyone deserved to be protected and if they are lucky then miracle will happen even at our birth.

Is a fetus a child the day before it is born? How about the hour before it is born? It is a child all the way back to conception, because nobody has the ability or right to truly determine the dividing line between fetus (or other) and child. Actually, fetus is simply a stage in a person's life.

When a woman allows herself to be in a position of becoming pregnant, her body is no longer hers. She has accepted a sacred trust for the baby she bears. The man is the grantor. The woman is the trustee. The child is the beneficiary. And as long as the woman understands this, she will easily receive help from God to bear the child; this help is built into nature, and is there for believers and unbelievers alike... for the benefit of the child.


There are a lot of things that are wrong with this world, because of freedom and because of sin. Someone has said: "Might makes right." That's not true. Might or strength only makes what happens. Often it is very wrong. Pregnancy only makes the woman a trustee of the property being built inside her to be given to the child/beneficiary. Her body is no longer her own for 9 months.

This subject has been hashed around for a long time. Voluntary abortion, when there are no extenuating circumstances, is first degree murder, no matter what the laws or the courts say.

To be fair it's about 8 mos old, they couldn't really use the "blood clot" argument against it. And even if it was and that there are debates whether when it becomes "life," (which I'd rather not get into) I prefer to base it on the accountability of the action.

Look, if a woman don't want the baby, she gets to aborts it coz it's a "body part" of her she can terminate. If she wants it, even if the guy don't, she gets to keep it coz it's her "child". It's either "not human" or "human," it can't be both. Its status shouldn't be based on just whatever happens to be convenient for the mother.

The body part happens to be another person. However, if we can't tell for sure, let's make the mistake on the side that is right... assume that abortion is murder. That way we won't be killing somebody accidentally.

There might be many women who don't have sex until they are married and have a home for the baby. But there are almost countless numbers of women, young and old, who are out there enticing guys all over the place to have sex with them. Stop this, so that they aren't enticed later to have an abortion, and maybe kill their own child.

Abortion works only if the fetus isn't identified as a person. A fetus becomes a person at some point, perhaps at heart beat or further along with brain development. Abortion activists don't identify a person at any stage of development -- the abortion is just removing "clump of cells."

Life begins at conception, personhood begins at some point in between conception and birth, and abortion for most is okay from conception to personhood.

Post-personhood abortion is killing a person, pure barbarism.

Life for everybody is in the promise of a tomorrow. Taking that promise away from the in-the-mother's-body person is murder, just like it would be like murder if you or I knew we were going to be executed tomorrow.

It's not about the police rescuing or picking babies from the dump who were left there by mothers who don't have the means to take care of them, it's about the government doing a little to support those who cannot fend for themselves.
 It's an anomaly for such situations like the above mentioned cases to be taken lightly as these babies lives matter too. Should a girl consider abortion? Not really, as the chances of survival are slim. In a case where the pregnancy is noticed early, it's still not safe to flush it out because there is the possibility that those meds taken can cause a long term damage to the womb.

Proving once again that an unborn child is, in fact, a child and not just a clump of cells

Yes, an unborn child is an unborn child.

But the image below doesn't show an unborn child. A 'child' emerges slowly, during the process. There is no child at the start, there is a child at the end.
But just because there is no definite instant of transition, we can't simply extrapolate backwards and say it's a child at the end, therefore it's a child all the way through... that would be as absurd as saying it's not a child at the beginning, therefore it's not a child at the end either.

It's a stage in the life of a person. To say that it is not a person is a personal judgment call. Err on the side of safety for a person until we find out for a fact that it is not a person.

Note that, to find this out, we would have to contact God and get the answer as to when He injected the soul into that body. To do this, we only need look at the Bible to see that way back at the beginning, God:
1. commanded that people multiply on the earth;
2. set up laws that made killing a person in the tummy of a pregnant woman to be murder.

The soul is there from conception. Like the body, it may not be developed fully. But it is there in pattern form, at least; abortion is murder.

its very sad that in a society where people are looking for baby, we still have others killing pregnant ladies all for the seek of money, which is too bad. But bravo to those police men for saving the life of the 35 weeks old baby in the womb (which is approximately 8months some weeks.
so because of this issue i had to make some research about when does a fetus in the womb begins and this is what i got.

What is a fetus?
The fetal stage begins at 10 weeks from the last period and lasts until birth (2). By the beginning of this stage, all the major organ systems have formed, but are immature (2). From this point on, the fetus will primarily be growing and tissues will be maturing.

There is no exact timing of fetal “viability” (or ability to survive outside the uterus), but a fetus that is at least 24 weeks may be viable if given intensive care after birth (2). Before 30 weeks gestational age, a fetus is less likely to survive than an older fetus because their lungs and brains are immature (2).

Major milestones during the fetal stage (2):

Weeks 10-13: the fetus is undergoing rapid growth, kidneys begin producing urine
Weeks 14-17: external genitalia has formed, coordinated limb movements, bones are hardening, eye movement begins
Weeks 18-21: eyebrows and head hair are visible, formation of the fetal uterus and vagina
Weeks 22-26: the fetus is gaining weight, fingernails are present
Weeks 27-30: lungs and brain are developed to the point that the fetus would likely survive if born at this point and given intensive care; eyelids are open, toenails are visible, the fetus is putting on fat

which means that a baby from 30weeks old pregnancy can survive if born.. and the lady shot dead had 35weeks old pregnancy

when He injected the soul into that body.

I can understand that religious people have a different viewpoint to those who follow science, and don't see any evidence for 'souls'. I disagree with you, but understand how you feel that way. However...

we only need look at the Bible to see that way back at the beginning, God:
1. commanded that people multiply on the earth;
2. set up laws that made killing a person in the tummy of a pregnant woman to be murder.

Back in the beginning, though, didn't God also endorse mass murder, rape and general mayhem? The OT is full of that stuff. I don't think this guy should be held up as a role model for ethical behaviour.

If you take a container of saltwater, stick a couple of electrodes in it, and run an electric current through the saltwater, you get hydrolysis. Do it the same way every time, and you get the same results every time. But nobody really knows what the water, the salt, the electrodes, and the electricity really are basically.

There are theories about what they are. And there are theories about why they do what they do. And some of the theories might be very accurate. But they are still theories... science theories, if you will.

When anyone believes that a science theory is correct, he has a religion going for himself in that theory... because he doesn't really know it. It's still a theory, a strong educated guess. So we see that ultimately science is based on religion of what people believe, because nobody knows enough about the basics of everything to know what's really going on in science.

Further. The various religions all take lots of science for granted in how they are formed, in what makes up the religion. God created the Heavens and the Earth. Lots of science in that.

This would take a big explanation to do it right. To say it simply, God doesn't endorse "mass murder, rape and general mayhem." He allows it, because mankind have made it part of their lives, and God is using that stuff to save mankind from their own destruction.

We don't know how the final destruction of the universe will come about. Our science has nothing more than theories about that. In fact, science is so weak that scientists can barely find evidence of what the soul really is, and how it might remain alive after the life of the body has been terminated.

Science isn't religion. Consider science to be a synonym for reason and logic.

The scientific method is an empirical method of acquiring knowledge that has characterized the development of science since at least the 17th century (with notable practitioners in previous centuries). It involves careful observation, applying rigorous skepticism about what is observed, given that cognitive assumptions can distort how one interprets the observation. It involves formulating hypotheses, via induction, based on such observations; experimental and measurement-based testing of deductions drawn from the hypotheses; and refinement (or elimination) of the hypotheses based on the experimental findings.

Compare this with religion, which is basically: 'Hey guys, there's this book that some unknown people wrote a couple of thousand years ago, let's believe this instead of facts and stuff!'

nobody really knows what the water, the salt, the electrodes, and the electricity really are basically.

Science has a very detailed understanding of water, look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water
Whereas religion thinks that water is just wet stuff that you can drink, or if you're one particular special guy, you can sometimes walk on.

God created the Heavens and the Earth. Lots of science in that.

I can't see any. To me, it looks like an isolated assertion, unsupported by logic or evidence.

we only need look at the Bible to see that

...to see that people are willing to blindly follow their leaders and believe something that was written down a couple of thousand years ago, despite it having no factual basis, despite no evidence being found even though they've spent two thousand years trying. Religion is simply an ancient method of social control.

I personally don't buy their argument that it is simply a body part of the woman - the embryo also consist of the father's genetic material. It's like a complete reversal of the ancient view that the baby is the man's and he only "plant" it in the woman to grow.

[merchantofzeny]

Glad to know that the baby survived though it'll be definitely be surreal for it later knowing how he was alive in a dead body. Had they both died it should have counted as double murder.

I understand that people like debating about whether a fetus is an entity separate from its mother but personally I lean towards it being a "living being" once it undergo cell division.

[suzanne5223]

I believe the police officers and the Doctors that attend to the issue are worth to be giving credit to. But people need to understand a fetus is not a cell because it is a human and they have to treat them like one.

I understand that people like debating about whether a fetus is an entity separate from its mother but personally I lean towards it being a "living being" once it undergo cell division.

Yes and thats because we all have different understanding until the truth comes to light.
Speaking of a baby separating from its mother, I am not a Doctor but based on my research and understanding as a parent. I believe the fetus is separate from its mother after the 4th month because the fingers, toes, eyelids, eyebrows, eyelashes, nails, hair, reproductive organs, gender, etc are all well-formed.

Common sense would dictate that if you would receive double homicide for murdering a pregnant woman, then maybe murdering just the fetus would be considered murder. 

I'm not pro-life or anything.  Quite the opposite actually.  I think they need to loosen the laws on justifiable murder.  However, I don't think we should be discriminating on the life of a fetus either.  So I'm torn on this entire situation.  I guess my main issue is that abortion tends to shift the responsibility of not getting pregnant away from the person who should not be getting pregnant.  If someone is raped or forced into carrying a child, sure, that's wrong.  If you're a prostitute who thinks abortions are cheaper than birth control, then that's a problem, as those people in my opinion are serial killers...  Maybe people should get a punch card of some sort.  You're only allowed to murder X amount of people (justifiably) and if women want to use that punch card on their own fetuses, so be it.

Part of the issue is that there are exceptions. Every case is different. For example, if the mother was raped, and bearing the child puts her life in danger, difficult judgments have to be made. And you can think of all kinds of scenarios where killing the baby is justified... even though making the decision to do so is extremely difficult.

The function and duty of policy is to protect the interest and life and property of citizens. Policy has served several lives of citizens in damage and some unborn babies which they born and dumped besides the way and road. Responding to you, my reaction towards what you narrated is that, it's only doctors who can tell with good explanation the separation of baby from the mother fetus. Because i know that is kind of abortions.
