Unborn children are zombies - Ex-evangelical psychologist makes light of abortion

In a bid to justify abortion, people get to say a whole lot of disgusting things like what this woman, Valerie Tarico, said. Smh. 

A former evangelical psychologist and author, Tarico says that babies who are in danger of being aborted in their mothers' wombs are about as human as zombies in some kind of science fiction movie.

In the piece titled "What the Unborn and the Undead Have in Common," Tarico makes the argument that just like babies, zombies "look like people even though they aren't."

Tarico claims that while zombies may have been people at some point and may even have the remnants of human flesh, they operate on instinct alone and are "incapable of doing something different" because they "can't think."

The writer explains that zombies die by the millions in some zombie movies and "we don't really care about how many zombies die."

"In the beginning stages of gestation, a human embryo or fetus has no more qualities of personhood than a zombie — far fewer, in fact, than your average cat or dog," she argued. "The qualities that make a person a person come into existence gradually at the beginnings of life, and sometimes they fade away long before a heart stops beating."

To Tarico, what makes a "person a person" is "having a mind."In order to have a mind, she says, one needs to have a brain, "which is a lot more complicated to develop and harder to sustain than a mere biological pump made out of cell matrix."

She continued by stating that all mammals, birds, fish and reptiles have hearts but don't necessarily have the brain power that fully-formed humans do. Tarico also argued that it is smart for pro-lifers to focus on the heartbeat in legislation efforts to ban abortion after 20 weeks of gestation.

 "A religious person who hates abortion might be appalled by my comparing a zombie and a human fetus, because the emotions the two arouse are so very different," she wrote. 

"Ironically, though, religious opposition to abortion is based on a kind of magical thinking much like that in zombie stories — the idea that human bodies can be animated by some supernatural force. In the stories that religions tell, this magical force is a soul put into the body by a deity."

*Tarico, who grew up in a fundamentalist Christian home but is now, no longer a Christian. 

So from what Valerie is insinuating, unborn children are zombies, so who cares how many of them die? Are you for real Valerie?!

Only God knows how much blood is being shed every single day, all over the world through abortion. Oh God! What is sacred is no more sacred. Human life is no more sacred in our world today. This world is fast going on a downward spiral!
