Every Sperm Is Sacred

From the first volume of the Oregon Voters' Pamphlet comes this hilarious and twisted argument. Measure 43 deals with having the parents of an unemancipated minor be given 48-hour notice before their daughter gets an abortion; current law allows all minors 15 years and older to get one without notification. (younger ages still require parental consent).


Here's a group that takes the Bible literally (at least the parts that fit their argument)



Also, every bold part of text is at it is in the text in the pamphlet, page 66.




LIFE IS SACRED!



At the moment of fertilization, cells begin to divide and multiply. Every cell contains our DNA-three billion pieces of genetic information. Every cell is sacred.

The 80 trillion cells in our body are dividing and multiplying all the time. And tragically, some cells die and are replaces. Why, God kills off several hundred billion of your blood cells every day! But “Thou shalt not kill”. Only God may kill your cells.

Every cell is sacred-sperm, egg, embryo, fetus, heart, hair, fingernail. Jesus said, “Even the hairs of your head are all numbered.” (Matthew 10:30). Every cell is God’s holy creation.

Although the Bible clearly indicates that the cells of the fetus have no soul separate from its mother (see previous argument), abortion nonetheless murders precious living cells.

According to Leviticus, a menstruating woman is unclean. She has wasted an unborn egg that could become a human life. The law should require parental notification of impending unborn uncleanliness.

Every act of masturbation kills up to 500 million unborn lives. Every sperm is sacred! Just like abortion, masturbation murders soulless cells. There should be parental notification prior to masturbation.

According to the Bible, beard shaving (Leviticus 19:27) is every bit as immoral as homosexuality! Just like abortion scrapes away life in the uterus, shaving violently scrapes away and murders million of living skin cells. Barbershops should be required to give parental notification before committing shaving sin.

Did you know that slaughtering a sacred appendix causes it to feel pain?

The Bible says that children who fail to honor their parents should be stoned to death (Exodus 21:17). Implementing biblical law as Oregon public policy could effectively eliminate teenage abortion, appendectomy, shaving, and sperm-murder.

Every cell is sacred. Every cell---from soulless fetus to fingernail---is a precious life that must not be killed.
