Should a doctor kill her baby and suck the baby out with a machine after dismemberment? Or should labor be induced once the baby inevitably dies, allowing the parents to hold their baby, bury their baby, and grieve?\u201d Even if the baby is unable to survive after birth, as long as he or she is alive in the womb, abortion still kills the child in what is almost surely a painful and grisly death.<\/p>\n<p>Burrow\u2019s post also lists examples of pregnancy due to rape, sexual abuse of a minor, or intercourse with an abusive husband. All are tragic scenarios in which each victim should be surrounded by support and compassion. But none justifies the additional violence of killing the innocent baby who has perpetrated no abuse.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CTYJm5WpNaj\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\"><\/blockquote>\n<p>Other examples include \u201cMelissa,\u201d who \u201chas to choose between bringing another child into poverty or feeding the children she already has,\u201d and \u201cBrittany,\u201d who \u201cis in no way financially, emotionally, or physically able to raise a child.\u201d There are wide nets of support for such women, from federal assistance to support from churches, communities, and crisis pregnancy clinics. If Melissa and Brittany truly feel so desperate they refuse to raise their children, there are countless loving parents who would love to adopt their babies \u2014 surely a better recourse than killing them! Neither mother\u2019s circumstances justify the brutal death of her innocent child.<\/p>\n<p>Nor do \u201cLindsay\u2019s,\u201d after she made the decision to engage in intercourse as a high school sophomore. Lindsay\u2019s baby should not receive a death sentence as punishment for her decision.<\/p>\n<p>The post mentions \u201cVanessa,\u201d who heard \u201csilence where there should be a heartbeat.\u201d The very inclusion of this example admits that it\u2019s heartbreaking to lose an unborn child \u2014 exactly the outcome of the brutal act of abortion. But it also ignores the obvious fact that aborting a live baby and taking medicine to safely pass a deceased baby\u2019s body are not the same, morally or legally. State laws banning abortion do not ban miscarriages, as many pro-abortionists disingenuously argue.<\/p>\n<p>Those state laws also provide exceptions when a mother\u2019s life is at risk, as is the case for \u201cCourtney\u201d in one example. Further, as Wright notes, \u201cThe course of treatment [for Courtney] would likely be a partial tubal ligation. \u2026 The medical procedure has the primary intention of removing the fallopian tube to preempt the very serious rupture and internal bleeding. The secondary, foreseen but unintended effect, is the death of the baby. This is tragic, but it is not an abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The appropriate course of action for a placental abruption like \u201cTheresa\u2019s\u201d (in another example) is subject to a wide variety of factors that we aren\u2019t told, such as whether the baby is viable enough for early delivery. Still, in the worst of scenarios, no state law allows a mother to be prosecuted for a procedure that is necessary to save her life.<\/p>\n<p>As for \u201cEmily,\u201d who had six eggs implanted in her uterus through in vitro fertilization (IVF), her situation was problematic long before all six babies were viably implanted. To knowingly implant more fertilized eggs than you would allow to live inside your womb is to condemn the \u201cextra\u201d babies to death already, something the pro-life movement could not in good faith support. That \u201cEmily\u201d could be put in such a position highlights the concerns raised by many IVF procedures from the perspective that life is precious from the moment of conception.<\/p>\n<p>Burrow\u2019s uncritical parroting of such bad-faith talking points with no medical, legal, or moral foundation shows he\u2019s unprepared for an honest discourse on abortion. He hasn\u2019t even put in enough research to know he\u2019s peddling bad information, and his fame as an athlete lends him exactly zero clout on political and legal issues. If he wants to educate himself enough to engage in a conversation about whether state legislatures should be allowed to ban murdering babies, he\u2019s welcome to do so as a concerned citizen. Otherwise, he should stick to football. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Elle Reynolds is an assistant editor at The Federalist, and received her B.A. in government from Patrick Henry College with a minor in journalism.
