What a fetus actually looks like at 12 weeks:

I’m not pro life or pro choice my views aren’t so extreme that I identify with either.

But that fetus does have a heartbeat and that is undeniable.. I also know…

The heart works independently from all other organs. You ever seen people with severe brain damage? They are usually comatose and bedridden and will never wake up, but they still have a normal heartbeat. That’s because the heart generates its own electrical impulses without the assistance of any other major organ. You do not need a developed brain or lungs to push blood. That’s the unique thing about the heart. While most organs rely on one another, including the heart, the heart relies on nothing.

So if everyone would just make a permanent note of that so we never have to talk about why a heartbeat is not an argument for life or abortion, that would be awesome.
