Today, kids, I'm going to speak about abortion. Because this is always a hot topic somewhere
in the wolrd, and this time it is the turn for Spain.
Language manipulation is totally normal when talking about abortion, starting with the
name of the different groups. Pro-election and pro-life
So what is pro-election? If someone hears this, he might think, well I don't want to
private anyone from his right to choose. But of course, it is not the same to choose
between a whopper and a long chicken than decide to stop your pregnancy.
Shouldn't they be called pro-abortion? Let's call things for its right name
The main argument of these people is to protect the freedom of the woman to decide about her body
But the problem is that we should take into account also that it is not only the woman who is taking part in this business.
I think we all can agree in something so basic that it is the same to kill a baby who has been
born just today and one is going to be born tomorrow.
The abilities of this being are obviously the same before and after being born.
So we should mark a limit, and to mark that limit we need some laws that can not be based on magic thinking, soul or gods.
On the other side we have the "pro-life" groups,
so what life? a human being is alive, but so is a dog, a plant, a fish, a cell and an ameba
They should be called anti-abortion group, shouldn't they?
Even if you say pro-human life, that is still wrong
because it seems their only concern is the abortion, not the people who is already born.
Their main argument is the right to life, taking into account only human life.
This topic makes me really angry, they fill their mouth with terms such as ethics, moral,
life but everyday more than 40000 kids under 5 years old die in the world for causes that
could be avoid, and it seems this fact is not important for them.
Probably they care about this, but they don't show it, and we must judge people for their
actions. From my point of view it seems like they are
really hypocrital and they don't care about everyoone's life but they are only pro-fetus.
Don't play with people's feeling because the fetus dying everyday are much less than the kids who die in the world
And do not missunderstand me, I don't say the responsability of this groups is to save
all the kids in the world, but it is the same as if greepeace would be only worried about
dolphins and they don't care about any other animal in the world. We have to be more consistent with our ideas.
But getting deep in the topic of human life, for pro-life the human life appear with the
fertilisation, when a ovule get together with a spermatozoid, and this is not true, because
the life is an uninterrupted chain that started millions of year ago in the earth and hasn't
stopped at all, and the same with the human life because an ovule and spermatozoid are alive as well
And we, obviously, do not think that an ovule and a spermatozoid have rights.
So let's think that what these people mean is that from the fertilisation this ovule
have the potentiality of becoming a human being.
But the truth is that becoming a human being is not the normal rute that a fertelised ovule
will follow, actually more than the 60% of the ovules are lost and the mother doesn't
even notice it. If we think that this a person, then we would
be in front of the biggest problem of public health in the history of humanity since we
are losing every day thousands of life, and no one does anything to avoid this. This show
us how everyone knows that the embryo is not a person because whe don't care about rescue
those ovules. And also a fertilised ovule, the first days,
can divide, creating more than one fetus, so an embryo is not a person, because a person
cannot divide himself to create a new one. Can we see the differences between person
and baby, and fertilised ovule? And if anyone mention the soul!
Starting for that we can not consider this argument to create a law, because is part
of the personal religious beliefs, and for example Jewishs don't forbid the abortion.
But let's think about the soul, if the sould appears with the fertilisation and with the
technology a scientist can create many embryo from only one. how can you explain about the
soul? only one keeps it, or does god give more souls to the new embryos losing his sovereignty.
This is the main reason why religion forbid to research with stem cells, because its dogma
falls apart even more than before.
But leaving souls apart, pro-life groups are also against contraceptive methods and it
is funny how in many countries where the birth rate is increasing and it is a real problem
taking into account the poverty of those countries. Church forbids both abortion and contraceptive
methods condemning many kids to be born in circumstances without dignity that guide them
to either death or to a lack of opportunities to develop themself as a person.
But again this matter seems to have very little relevance for the pro life groups or for the
church. It is up to them and their moral to find out the answer.
But more astonishingly, Church hasn't condemned abortion always. It seems that at some point
god changed his mind. And the bible does not say clearly that abortion should not be practiced
and in fact in the 1312 Vienne canonical law they don't condemn abortion in the first trimester of the pregnancy
Why do they change their opinion?
Well, when spermatozoid were discovered, people from church thought that they were small man
inside us... and therefore they were alive and we shouldn't kill them.
Instead of thinking it is just a cell, they just made up their own lovely story.
But let´s come back to nowadays. Prolife like a lot to use the word "***",
but we have to see again the mistake, because they are considering the embryo a person,
because we do not use the word *** for animals, only for people.
And why do we use only for people but not for the rest of the animals? why are we different?
well the thing that make us different is the self-conciousness.
So is more developed one week fetus than a monkey?No
than a fish? No than a plant? No
It is more developed than a single cell, now it is just a group of cells dividing.
And if A is pontentially B, that does not mean that A is B. The same way a seed is not
a tree, although it is pontentially a tree. The same way we shouldn't say that we have
murdered a person when we are producing an abort.
And we are getting close to the key. If we cannot kill a fetus in the 9th month
but we can in the 1st... where is the limit?
So we should look for the point when that self-conciusness is developed, and unfortunately
science can not give an exact moment when this happen. Science can help us just a little
bit with the study of the fetus development.
So we could think that when the brain is created is when the reasoning appears, and most of
the laws about abortion allow it till much later than the 8th week.
But when the brain is created, it is still in a very early stage, and it is not the same
as a human brain or nervous system. The fetus start responding to stimuli but as some other
animals can respond to stimuli as well.
it is stipulated that enough brain development for self-conciusness happens around the 3rd
trimester of pregnancy. And because we don't have exact date, we should avoid to put the
limit in the 3rd trimester.
Thus, it is not rational to be totally against abortion since before the 8th week the fetus
is as active as a plant because it does not have any nervous system.
I totally understand that some people might not like the idea of the abortion, since this
fetus can be a person in the future. But we have to give the right to have a safe abortion
procedure, because there are evidences that in the first week the fetus is not a person
at all. It starts being a group of cells dividing. We must leave personal opinions aside because
the government must legislate for everyone, and we take the abortion from the whole nation
just because of some people saying a fetus in the first trimester is a person.
If I don't make anyone abort, no one should make other person not to do it.
I think 20 weeks are more than enough to decide if you want to abort, and the law should put the limit around there for everyone. And people who is against it have to keep on going with their lives and don't abort.
we have to respect other people's opinion and speak things logically and you have to
share this video so people can learn new things about abortion.
Press like if you support abortion law or if you don't press like as well, because I explain it with coherence. Also subscribe
because Iwill be speaking about more polemic topics.
Live your life and let people take their own moral decisions when they don't affect you.
