11 Must Read Evidences that Abortion is Killing Humans

This is an eye-opening post by John Piper {We Know They Are Killing Children - All of Us Know; 01/22/13} on the Desiring God blog.  In it, he lists 11 reasons that abortion is killing humans (as opposed to mere cells or inanimate objects).  I think that each reason is well thought through and legitimate.  I'd encourage you to go and read through each one {whether you are currently on the pro-choice or pro-life side}... there may be a few that you haven't yet considered.

But before I show that, let’s clarify what the Supreme Court did forty years ago today. InRoe v. Wade the Supreme Court in effect made abortion on demand untouchable by law. The way this was done was with two steps:

For forty years this has meant that any perceived stress is a legal ground for eliminating the child. We have killed fifty million babies. And what increases our guilt as a nation is that we know what we are doing. Here’s the evidence that we know we are killing children...
