A song to life

The defense of life at all levels differentiates animals from human beings.

Human life, a gift from God, begins at fertilization. Human fertilization is a process in which the sperm and the egg meet, become active, the genetic material of each fuses, and a new life appears. The fertilized egg ceases to be a simple cell and becomes the body of the son (or daughter) in its simplest state: the zygote. The appearance of the human zygote indicates the end of the fertilization process: therefore, the conception of a new human being.

It is a human life

The zygote is a human body in its primordial stage. It possesses all the potentialities and characteristics of a human being. It is polarized and has in its design the body axes with an asymmetrical distribution of its elements.

Following a perfectly traced plan, it divides into a two-cell embryo (bicellular embryo), different from each other and different from the zygote itself. It will then transform into a three-, four-, eight-cell embryo on its third day of life. As soon as the zygote is formed, the genetic message contained in the genome it has inherited appears on the scene: the ignition of a new human life.

The human embryo needs five days to travel from the uterine tubes near the ovary where it is conceived to the prepared site in the maternal uterus. Implantation begins on day six and the nesting process is completed by day fourteen. By the fifteenth day, the embryo, embedded in the mother’s womb, has its complete body plan: the place where the head, heart and feet will be located.

It is necessary to know the clear biological criterion, which leaves no room for doubt, about the real difference between living human cells in multiplication – living matter – and an individual living embryo.

Very recent data of current biological science allow to distinguish the presence of a complete genetic endowment in the ovum cell; the process of harmonization of all cellular components; and the beginning of a human being. It is impossible to confuse a human embryo with a handful of cells! The real human zygote, which begins a real development, is a human embryo; already begotten, it is so regardless of the destiny that the judges will give it. 

Barbaric laws?

Should the law punish a woman who seeks an abortion, or should the State facilitate the interruption of intrauterine life in gestation? Many controversies…

Legislation criminalizing abortion is barbaric legislation. It is difficult to know what guilt a woman who tries to terminate her pregnancy may have. In a concrete case, the government, the State, the churches should welcome her with great respect and consideration; support her hope; help her to resolve her personal and socioeconomic difficulties. It is not possible to make a pronouncement in the abstract!

To legally authorize the right to interrupt a pregnancy in the first days of gestation is reprehensible. To justify by decree a procedure, biologically and morally decadent, under the pretext of updating the legislation, is a sign of perversion of the State; it reveals the alienation of the ruling class of a society, which claims to be healthy.

Some, like  some deputies and senators, promote the destruction of human life in gestation; others, the constitutional judges, irresolute to dictate just sentences that could seem unpopular; and those responsible for the conduction of the State, delaying tactics and lukewarmness, while others decide. Celestine executioners in the face of death by decree.

And while the constitutional judges rule on the incontrovertible unconstitutionality of a homicidal law, there are already thousands of deaths of children under 12 weeks of intrauterine life provoked in the hygienic and air-conditioned environment of an operating room, perhaps under the chords of Moncayo’s Huapango, by voluntary executioners who studied Medicine. 

In Mexico City, from April 26, 2007 to date, more than  240,000 murders have been committed in the maternal cloister.

Legality is not created by political power or society; it is derived from the human being. To fuse juridicity and legality is to make a clean slate of the dignity of men and women. Partisan, federal or state arrogance has no place in law.

Many jurists have placed the science of law in the position of giving validity to attacks against the most defenseless human being -that of the maternal claustrum, from where we all come from- as long as it has the formal garb of law. No to infamous laws. No to homicidal legislators, voluntary executioners. We are not human rats.

Greetings!

Let us defend life at all its levels, from its beginning in the maternal womb to the end of its natural time. Today, the Senate of the United States of America has initiated a new world. Thanks! It is a song to life! God Exists!
