No, that's right! I agree. See, I believe that life has started. But to me, even if it hasn't, it's like a sunflower seed. But a baby is worth so extremely more than a sunflower seed. See, when you burn the seeds, you are ending it's potential to become sunflowers, like you said. I was thinking about that, but it's not quite a good analogy because a baby is so so much more valuable.

Think about it this way. What is killing? It's ending a life, right? But what does it mean to end a life?

When a person is killed, that's robbing them of the chance to keep living. Regardless of when they would die, even if it's a minute later, that time has been stolen from them by someone else.

(I'm not talking about "mercy" killing, I'm talking about killing someone else who wants to keep living.)

Think about that for a second.

When murder happens, it's another person taking something precious away from another person. Their chance and their choice to keep living. When a child is aborted, it's the same thing- but honestly, worse. Because the child was always going to keep growing, until he or she reaches their natural death. When they are aborted, they are robbed of the chance to even live in our world at all.

See, a sunflower is also different, because it's not on a time clock. It's not always growing. It can only grow if it's planted. A better analogy is if you had in egg that belonged to the rarest bird in the world. It's the ONLY one of it's kind, the only one ever possible, unique, can never happen again, worth more than all the wealth in the world, and you pick it up and smash it. Then you've lost something rare and beautiful and priceless and one of a kind, even if it hasn't become that thing yet. It was going to become that, and even if it was to die before it hatched, when it dies is still not your decision to make.

(It's kind of like if Gisela had killed the alicorns and their babies- assuming no other alicorns exist. Those baby alicorns are going to grow up and have thoughts and lives and feelings like Silveny. And they are precious and one of a kind, just like every human. )

Basically what I'm saying is it's not up to us. As a Christian, I believe it's up to God. The mother does not own the child. It may be inside her body, but when a child is killed, it's the killing of another person with another body. She does not have the right to kill another person- an innocent person, who doesn't want to die and who has never done anything wrong. To me, saying that the baby isn't "alive" yet is kind of a huge excuse. "This egg hasn't become a rare bird yet, so it's not valuable." "This safe full of a trillion dollars hasn't been opened yet, so we can blow it up."

I hope this helps, and doesn't sound disrespectful!! Let me know if I'm speaking too strongly.
