Applying principles of medical ethics to challenge popular pro-choice rhetoric, SUPREMELY WRONG advances the national dialogue on life issues with surprising stories and accessible logic. Practicing OB-GYN physician Brent Boles uses dozens of sources to reveal when life begins and how the silence of the church has contributed to the national loss of nearly one million babies in the womb annually. It's more than research that resounds with truth. It's a call to action.

CHAPTER 1


UNDERSTANDING WHEN LIFE BEGINS


In the quest to understand the discourse about abortion, it is best to start at the beginning in order to grasp all that one must. Those in America who have expended so much effort to convince us all that abortion is good, just, moral, and necessary all have one commonality. They ignore the question of when life begins.

In an interview with Cecile Richards, who at the time was president of Planned Parenthood, news anchor Jorge Ramos tried twice to get her to answer the question: “When does life begin?” She steadfastly avoided his queries and deflected the conversation back to her talking points. Among other responses, she said, “I don’t know that it’s really relevant to the conversation.” In a different interview, with Playboy magazine, she avoided multiple times answering the question in a meaningful way. She said, “It depends on the pregnancy.” Then she claimed to have spoken to doctors who informed her that, “There is no specific moment when life begins.” She was asked, “Is there any point during pregnancy when an abortion would be terminating a life?” To that question she replied, “That’s a question medical folks have dealt with, and I’m not a doctor. I’ve spent a lot of time with OB-GYNs, and they will tell you there is no specific moment when life begins.” Her answers, like the answers of any abortion activist when challenged on these issues, are deceptive subterfuge.

I would submit to you that the question of when life begins is not only important; it is the most relevant question in this conversation. Any statement that indicates that we cannot know when life begins is demonstrably false. In the pages that follow, I will introduce in layman’s terms some basic medical understanding of human reproduction. Even if such frank descriptions seem to go “over your head” or make you squeamish as a non-medical professional, I encourage you not to rush through this chapter. Anyone seeking to engage in serious public dialogue on human life issues must have a firm grasp of the basics.
