Oklahoma Governor Signs Bill That Will Teach Kids “Abortion Kills a Living Human Being”

I’m all for teaching our children that there are consequences for their actions, but should it be law? Oklahoma just signed a bill that would teach the public, as well as students, that abortion is an act that kills a living person. Do you trust the school system[1] to teach this concept to your children, or do you think this type of learning should take place in the home?

From Life Site News:

The governor of Oklahoma has signed a pro-life bill into that that will teach the public, and students, that “abortion kills a living human being.” The notion is easily provable given the inordinate amount of scientific evidence, ultrasound imaging and comments from top scientists about the humanity of unborn children.

Here’s more on the new law[5] Governor Mary Fallin signed on Monday, the Humanity of the Unborn Child Act, which requires the state health department to launch a new educational campaign:

The act, authored by Republican Rep. Ann Coody, authorizes the health department to develop a public information campaign about the developmental stages of a fetus and alternatives to abortion. It also authorizes an optional instructional program for students.

However, the bill’s message[6] clearly states that any information distributed to the public “shall clearly and consistently teach that abortion kills a living human being.”

The bill also states that information should be available for prenatal health care, but “no program or state employee may refer any student to a medical facility or any provider for the performance of an abortion.”

A previous LfieNews article[8] compiled 41 quotes from medical textbooks showing human life begins at conception. Below is a sample of them:

“Human life begins at fertilization, the process during which a male gamete or sperm (spermatozoo developmentn) unites with a female gamete or oocyte (ovum) to form a single cell called a zygote. This highly specialized, totipotent cell marked the beginning of each of us as a unique individual.” “A zygote is the beginning of a new human being (i.e., an embryo).”

Keith L. Moore, The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology, 7th edition. Philadelphia, PA: Saunders, 2003. pp. 16, 2.

“In that fraction of a second when the chromosomes form pairs, the sex of the new child will be determined, hereditary characteristics received from each parent will be set, and a new life will have begun.”

Kaluger, G., and Kaluger, M., Human Development: The Span of Life, page 28-29, The C.V. Mosby Co., St. Louis, 1974.

While I firmly believe that education is the only way to prevent abortions from taking place, I also believe that laws do absolutely nothing to help the cause.
