Stan Jones on Abortion

No abortion after heartbeat, at 41 days into pregnancy

I believe that life begins at conception. Life is an inalienable right that must be protected by the government. Virtually every state Supreme Court has found that life is present when there is a heart beat and there are brain waves present. These findings were in relation to when life ended. I think these same courts would have a hard time justifying different conditions for the beginning of life. We know then, that life is present at about 41 days into a pregnancy.

Abortion is a crime against humanity

From a purely legal standpoint I would agree that it is unconstitutional to take the life of an unborn child when there is a heart beat and brain waves. From a moral standpoint, my personal belief is that life begins from conception and that abortion at any time is a crime against humanity.

Abortion is not a private decision of a woman

Contrary to the contrived position of the Supreme Court, in Roe vs Wade, abortion is not a private decision of a woman. It is not a matter of privacy any more than is taking the life of any person outside her womb. It is a vain and final effort to "correct" the irresponsibility of the woman, and her male partner, in the conduct of her lives. Source: Campaign website, www.mtlp.org/jones, "Issues" Jan 24, 2006
