A preborn baby is SO much more. 

All of life starts at the time of fertilization. Scientists and chemists confirm a stunning explosion of zinc fireworks occurs when a human egg is activated by a sperm.

A woman must take two powerful synthetic hormones: RU-486 (mifepristone) and misoprostol. You might also have to visit the abortion facility up to three (3) more times to complete the abortion.

It’s a two-pill process:

• The first pill keeps nutrients from the baby  
• The second initiates contractions 
• The dead baby comes out about four hours later usually at home
• You’re left alone to deal with it along with bleeding and pain 
• If it fails, the woman has to have a surgical abortion.

RU-486, in its short lifespan, has significant, well-documented, short-term, dangerous side effects, including prolonged and severe bleeding, nausea, vomiting, pain, and death.

• An abortion is purposefully getting rid of the baby even if developing and healthy. 
• A miscarriage is an unfortunate spontaneous bodily response when the baby naturally stops growing. 

The Process of a D&C

A Dilation and Extraction (D & E) is performed in the 2nd trimester (weeks 12-16) of a pregnancy. Since the baby’s bones are calcified, forceps must be used to dismember the body of the baby by grabbing the baby’s limbs, tearing them off the body, and crushing the skull.
