Pro-choice ‘fraud’ ignores science

By Dr. Peter J. Kennedy

On May 2, The Gazette published a news story that was headlined, “FDA appeals order on pill availability.” That news story about the morning-after pill called Plan B included the pro-choice lie that pregnancy begins when the process of implantation is complete.

Pregnancy actually begins two weeks earlier when the process of fertilization is complete.

And it wasn't the first time that The Gazette participated in that blatant fraud. An Oct. 14, 1992, editorial by The Gazette Editorial Board, titled “A way out,” perpetuated the false science by pro-choice “experts” that pregnancy is not established until a prenatal child is implanted in the wall of the mother's uterus.

I wrote a guest column then that The Gazette printed a month later that refuted that false science with a medical dictionary.

But The Gazette continues to publish this pro-choice falsehood as though it was a fact of life. The May 2 news story included an illustration that depicted a cutaway view of a woman's reproductive system, showing three events during her reproductive cycle that Plan B could possibly affect or prevent from happening, which pro-choice asserts would prevent pregnancy: 1) ovulation along with the entry of sperm into her uterus; 2) fertilization of the egg by the sperm; and 3) implantation of the fertilized “egg” into the uterine wall.

This illustration clearly sells the false science that pregnancy begins at the completion of implantation (event 3), not at the completion of fertilization (event 2).

Pregnancy actually begins after fertilization happens, almost two weeks earlier than implantation. This fact is verified, for one, by a similar (but accurate) diagram found on page 928 of the college textbook, titled “Biology” Fifth Edition, copyright 1999, published by Addison Wesley Longman Inc.

Above that diagram, under the headline “From Conception to Birth,” this text states:

“In placental mammals, pregnancy or gestation, is the condition of carrying one or more embryos, new developing individuals, in the uterus. Pregnancy is preceded by conception, the fertilization of the egg by a sperm cell and continues until the birth of the offspring.”

In the pro abortion-generated illustration showing how Plan B supposedly prevents pregnancy by preventing implantation, it asks: “What is Plan B?” and answers: “Pill contains an elevated dose of a progesterone-like hormone (levonorgestrel), the same ingredient found in many birth control pills; will not affect an existing pregnancy.”

When Plan B or other so-called birth control pills work by preventing implantation, they certainly do “affect” by terminating “an existing pregnancy” - and they terminate the existing prenatal child too - which is abortion. That's not preventing a pregnancy, that's ending a pregnancy.

Plan B (or any other so-called birth control pills) cannot prevent pregnancy after fertilization has occurred. Pregnancy is established the moment that the sperm cell has successfully fertilized the ovum in the fallopian tube. Pro-choice has been telling this lie for more than 50 years with complete impunity.

I have nearly completed a book titled “Conceived in Liberty: New Hope for America's Youngest Children.” The entire 40 pages of chapter 7A (titled “When Does Pregnancy Begin?”) is devoted to exposing this pro-choice fraud of trying to alter the science of when pregnancy begins in order to sell abortion-causing drugs and devices as being only contraception.

The Gazette can respond one of three ways to my above accusation of them committing fraud: 1) Sue me for libel; 2) Admit that they have been deceived by pro-choice; 3) Ignore my article like they did 20 years ago.

Hopefully, this time they will do the right thing.
