The 'procedure' called abortion is for the purpose of ending a life which has begun inside a mother. When people refer to that life as the 'fetus', it seems to be an attempt to dehumanize that life, much like devising a clinical view of the 'tissue' that might enable a denial of actual human life. However, if there is no life, there is no reason for abortion. If the life, referred to as an impersonal fetus, was not expected to grow to be a problem for the mother or father, or both, then there is no reason to end that life. So it follows, in the case of abortion, that the problems projected and caused by the presence of life is more important than the life itself. The free 'choice' is between the life and the problem, although the life inside is not regarded as able to have a free 'choice' in the decision - until we can see it's face.

Current law says it is illegal to murder a baby, unless you haven't yet seen it's face. When the face of the baby hasn't been seen outside the mother, the growing beginnings of the baby can be treated like a foreign object or disease and can be removed, which in turn causes it to die. In partial birth abortion this is so evident that, during that procedure, the entire baby would be outside the mother's body - except for the front of the head, where the face is. If the front of the baby's head should accidentally slip out, and the face seen, and a breath taken, then the procedure is a killing. Is this not clear enough except to someone who seeks to justify the killing? Is this not evidence enough of the life that is to be ended in any abortion? Free choice is God given and we all have the freedom to kill or commit any wrong we choose, but to legitimize murder through proper terminology and denial does not erase the death of something that is living.

Politicians have not found the legal answer to this polarized subject. They are not God. God does have the answer and it is probably not represented exactly by 'pro-life' or 'pro-choice' movements. The answer is particular to each circumstance which presents itself with an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy. It involves the mother and, whether or not the mother wants him to be, the father is involved and affected. The families of both parents are involved because the life that has begun is descendant from, and related to, them. The decision to be made, whether to love the life that has started or end it, should not be generally and arbitrarily decided by lawmakers and the cost to end life through abortion - or to continue life - should not be paid for with tax money.

Whatever choice is made, the following should be clear: life is present, that life is separate from and, for a while, part of the mother, that life is also separate from and part of the father without whom there would be no life, when that life is stopped it is death, and the life that is ended is human life. Abortion is the stopping of human life. Death. There is no way around it. It doesn't matter if we reconfigure vocabulary or deny it until we turn blue - the purpose for abortion is to end human life, to prevent that face of that human from ever being seen. If the human fetus would not become a human baby there would be no abortion and, therefore, no need to discuss it.
