The University of Sydney, Australia offers a post about a new book by pro-abortion Professor Deborah Lupton called “The Social Worlds of the Unborn”. According to the post, the book:
Is the first book-length sociological work that covers the full range of contexts in which embryos and foetuses are created, monitored, tested, disposed of and visualized.
The phrase “disposed of” caught my eye. If she wasn’t in favor of killing innocent unborn children, Professor Lupton would have said “murdered”. The post quotes Professor Lupton:
We're just surrounded now by this wealth of visual material of the unborn, and increasingly they are described and represented as if they are already infants.
There’s good reason that unborn babies are described and represented as infants. Don't believe your lying eyes, Professor Lupton. She doesn’t think such recognition is a good idea.
This growing idea of the unborn as already infant is having an effect on limiting women's choices when it comes to abortion policy in some countries.
When we recognize the humanity of the victims – in this case, unborn children – it does tend to put a damper on killing them. Professor Lupton continues:
Because the unborn are seen increasingly as autonomous citizens in their own right that need protecting from the actions that pregnant women might take, there's a lot of emphasis now on the unborn over the rights and needs of the woman in whose body they are growing
What exactly are the “rights and needs of the woman” that should allow a mother to murder her own baby, Professor Lupton?
