There was no vaccine for chickenpox in 1973, and licensure for the combination treatment of measles, mumps, and rubella was only 2 years old. The Heimlich Maneuver, a common treatment for choking , had not been finalized, and physicians had yet to successfully complete a heart-lung transplant. Unborn babies at 28 weeks were considered viable outside the womb. 

The world of science and medicine was drastically different the year the highest court in the United States concluded in Roe vs. Wade that abortion should be legal. With limited information, the Supreme Court decided that the fetus is “potentially” human and that a woman’s right to privacy supersedes the rights of a potential person. 

On Dec. 1, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a phenomenal opportunity for the court to reconsider the humanity of the unborn child. The case considers the constitutionality of a 2018 Mississippi law that protects almost all fetuses after the 15th week of pregnancy from abortion. It is the first time since Roe v. Wade the court will consider a law protecting babies from abortion before fetal viability. 

The justices will weigh factors like legal precedent and the state’s role in abortion restrictions, but they can also evaluate the evolution of science, technological improvements, and how these advances exhibit the humanity of the unborn person. For example, in 1973, we did not know that the unborn child at 15 weeks has functioning organs and a heart that beats 54 million times before he or she is even born.

When we were in our mothers’ wombs, we were sustained through our kidneys’ filtering toxins, the intestines digesting nutrients, and our lungs practicing breathing. In 1973, we did not know that, just like you and I can do, a young fetus can respond to touch and taste, and if she experiences touch at the bottom of her feet, she reacts the same as adults, by curling her toes. If an object tries to touch the 15-week fetus, she uses her fingers to grab the object.

Pro-Abortion Groups Are Freaking Out Ahead of Historic SCOTUS Ruling

On 12/1 , #SCOTUS will hear a case that directly challenges Roe v. Wade and could open the floodgates for abortion bans across the country, causing havoc and harm like the recent ban in TX. Say it loud: #AbortionIsEssential pic.twitter.com/SeIyNnzD7w

I didn't know They existed.

Nov. 30 2021

Elected Kent County Commissioner Monica Sparks (D) along with Kristen Day of Democrats for Life delivered a letter Tuesday to the Democratic Party National Headquarters to demand a meeting with the DNC chairman and greater inclusion of anti-abortion voices in the Democratic Party.

"Equality, non-violence, and non-discrimination!" chanted a handful of activists, which also included the new group "Progressive Uprising Against Abortion" outside the DNC.

While left-of-center, these organizations plan to rally Wednesday as the Supreme Court begins to hear oral arguments in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, which will determine the future of a Mississippi law banning abortions after 15 weeks.
