Planned Parenthood abortionist says life begins “when it becomes meaningful”
By , Published October 3rd, 2010

The Journal Star of Lincoln, NE published a gushing interview Saturday with Planned Parenthood abortionist Jill Meadows. One paragraph about Jill Meadows reads:

She has come to believe that life begins, not at conception, but when it becomes meaningful, when ensoulment is possible, when viability and taking breath is possible. The miracle of life occurs at birth, she says.

So basically she just said that the this child is not alive…

I think Planned Parenthood has a real problem with scientific accuracy here. This is no surprise to me as we have caught Planned Parenthood on tape telling us all sorts of medical misinformation. Misinformation is used to dehumanize the unborn and justify their slaughter because who wants to talk about what abortion really does:

    Disgusting word-spin to justify killing those unable to defend themselves.

    This is scientifically flawed reasoning because babies in the womb breath in amniotic fluid. Many later-term babies are viable, with appropriate medical assistance; as for the soul, who knows if or when it enters the body? Many faith groups believe the soul is present at conception.

    What is it with these people? Even my 3 year old daughter understands that the tiny clump of cells in the photo in my pregnancy book is the beginning of a new human being's development.

    "She has come to believe that life begins, not at conception, but when it becomes meaningful, when ensoulment is possible, when viability and taking breath is possible. The miracle of life occurs at birth, she says."

    So contradictory. Birth is random, there is no clock that goes "DING, TIME FOR BIRTH!" right at 40 weeks. How can a baby who is born at 24 weeks be "alive" and a 38 week preborn baby not be?

    And how could a "fetus" who is not "alive" have the coordination to intentionally suck his thumb and show typical human responses to various stimuli?

    As a Nebraskan and guest contributor to this site, I'm sickened by this. We were leading the nation in our "life laws", prohibiting abortions after 20 weeks due to fetal pain and requiring a standard mental/physical checkup before an abortion to look for risk factors.

    Due to the strong-arming of Planned Parenthood (specifically this very woman), our legislation on the manditory checkup was dropped before it could start. Sick people like PP workers and Dr. Carhart do NOT represent the majority of Nebraska…please pray for us.

    For more information, you can check out her suit against Nebraska, keeping more abortion powers for herself and PP at this site, which shows the legal documents: http://journalstar.com/pdf_b321409c-8f60-11df-a17…. She is named as the Plaintiff in the case and is the medical director of the PP of the Heartland (performing abortions in Nebraska and Iowa). They consider themselves a "non-profit" and are quick to show the other services their clinic provides (as evident in the document).

    So, she must have failed math, biology, chemistry, probably history too.

    I posted this comment on Jill's blog, but it relates so much to the above:

    Of course, you also have to believe that unborn children are outside the physical universe, because if they aren’t alive, they must not be growing and developing in the womb.

    Clearly more than 50 million pre-born children were in some nebulous cosmic location, hanging out while their un-animated bodies developed in the unwilling wombs of their invaded mothers, who it has been decided have the power over deciding which organisms in the universe are alive and which are dead. This is so durn scientific, gosh. I just love how fact-based and logical the abortion lovers can be.

    Next time someone seems to have died and seems to be in need of a coroner’s verification, just call any old teenage girl because she knows and can decide who is alive and who is not! (this sarcastic sentence is not intended to offend teenage girls).

    oh what breath-taking arrogance and ignorance!

    She had to convince herself of that lunacy – or she couldn't do what she does. She's a woman – she *knows* in her heart and soul that she's wrong – so she spouts nonsense.

    I have one question for Jill Meadows: When did YOUR life start?'

  • David McBane

    In Philosophy & Ethics last year we read a book by H. Ray Dunning titled Reflecting the Divine Image: Christian Ethics in Wesleyan Perspective.

    He says the same thing Jill Meadows does.

    I wrote the following in a reflection & reaction paper concerning page 52:

    "This author approaches Genesis One and the subject of 'the image of God' as if it were a noun. I believe this is wrong. I approach the subject as if it were an adjective.

    "Mr. Dunning defines the image of God as 'personhood.' He states it 'is a relational category.' Not only is this a Darwinian-Evolution-derived definition; it is also anti-God. If personhood is a 'sociological' and 'ontological category that is possible only in relation…' then we are justified to abort babies and euthanize those with handicaps and brain dysfunctions/disease/injury."

    You gotta love all the artificial authority Jill assumes in her comments concerning: when life begins, life meaning, and when the soul joins the body.

    She talks about the spiritual and "miracles" but forgets that the spiritual cannot be a result of physical evolutionary processes (I am Creationist.) Therefore there is a Creator and therefore there is someone who has the authority to make the rules.

    How can we help these people? They won't listen. Just gotta keep trying.
