Anti-Abortion Advocate Uses Baby’s Picture To Emotionally Manipulate People, Gets Destroyed With Facts
Abortion has been an emotionally-charged and divisive topic for many years and shows no signs of letting up. Central to the argument for many people is pinpointing the exact time when ‘life’ begins. Is it at conception? The first heartbeat? Brain activity? Or when the baby actually emerges from the womb?
Religion plays a large part in the debate, with people of various beliefs having different opinions on the matter. The truth is that nobody really knows, and this lack of a concrete definition coupled with the broad ethical questions that raised by abortion means that the controversy is likely to rage far into the future.
RELATED:
The latest example to get people talking comes from the subreddit MurderedByWords, which showed an informative and withering putdown to a meme originally shared on the Facebook page ‘Life Begins at Conception.’ The page, making its own view on the argument abundantly clear, shared a picture of a smiling baby next to the words: “If You’re Pronounced Dead When Your Heart Stops Beating, Why Aren’t You Pronounced Alive When Your Heart Starts Beating?” At first glance, you might think that this makes perfect sense. However, this response had another view and set it out in a clear and concise manner.
And, of course, there are certain tragic circumstances when an abortion is just the only thing to do, regardless of where you stand. Does somebody who has suffered enough need to see constant reminders about the horrors of a miscarriage and unwanted abortion?
The post started a lively discussion on the MurderedByWords subreddit, with people pointing out the irony of the post
While others continued the discussion about pro-life and pro-choice, sharing facts, opinions and some heartbreaking personal experiences with abortion
Now, we know that facts and ‘putdowns’ are unlikely to change anyone’s minds on this most emotionally-driven of topics. Everyone has different moral standards, and it is ultimately those which determine where you stand on the pro-life/pro-choice spectrum. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!

"I couldn't afford to go the hospital so I had to go through the long and painful process of a miscarriage myself at home..." (not an exact citation, I'm aware) This is so heartbreaking. How can you call yourself a civilized country and let this happen at the same time? :(

I've read and heard plenty of stories of women who have had an abortion and can I just say one thing that stood out to me. All of them did it for the sake of the child. All of them thought it was best for the child. Sorry I just needed to get that of my chest. Thanks.

I've read a heartbreaking story of a woman who wasn't wanted by her mother. And then I read some more of those. How it affected them every day, how much they suffered and wished they'd never been born to have to live this. It was then when I fully realized that it really can be the best choice for the potential mother and the potential child. Because being born unwanted will likely damage you forever and what's the point in that? (Just to make sure - I've always been pro-choice, I just also always thought that it should be the last resort and not just because "you don't want the child at that moment".)
