Fox News political analyst Brit Hume made a passionate moral argument against abortion on “Special Report” on Wednesday that just may go viral after Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) uploaded it on his YouTube channel.
Referencing the 41st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Hume said the Supreme Court decided that a “generalized right to privacy that they basically invented meant that a woman has a constitutional right to snuff out an unborn life — a human being with a beating heart.”
“That’s what a fetus as young as six weeks is,” he added.
Hume expressed shock that, by some estimates, as many as 55 million abortions have occurred since the landmark ruling.
Since 1973, he continued, “science has given us an ever clearer picture of just how much of a baby a fetus is.”
“At 20 weeks, we know now, these tiny creatures can hear, even recognize a mother’s voice. Their toenails are growing and their hearts beat loud enough to be heard by a stethoscope,” Hume said. “The moral case for allowing such beings to be killed grows ever weaker, and it’s advocates resort to evermore absurd euphemisms to describe what they support.”
He mocked pro-abortion advocates for claiming they are just “pro-choice,” that it’s not about killing unborn babies, it’s about “reproductive health.”
Hume praised the “March for Life” protesters who descended upon Washington D.C. on Wednesday, saying they come back every year to remind the country that there is “something deeply false and wrong about all this.”
When Bret Baier asked him where the abortion debate goes from here, Hume said he looks to science to prove more conclusively that fetuses can feel pain, if possible, from the beginning. That would “change everything,” he concluded.
The ENTIRE present Populations of the bottom 26 STATES have been KILLED in the womb by their MOTHERS!! 55-56 MILLION is the number.....its SHOCKING when you look at the numbers.....AND the BARBARIANISM!!

As far as the Culture of Death is concerned, it wouldn't change a thing. 
Britt should have someone in Fox News promote this:

Part II is coming this Spring:
Many of those 50 million would have had children by now.
The number of persons lost is likely more than 65 million.
Economically 65 million more Americans would have kept Social Security solvent and prevented a population vacuum that has brought more than 20 million illegal persons to the USA from south of the border. The consequences of abortion extend beyond the immorality and conviction of conscience, they also create an aging population.
PING
Brit was very good - I was a little taken aback to hear such passion on the issue.
If an abortion isn’t snuffing out a little life, why bother having the procedure?
A baby’s heart starts beating 18 days after conception. A baby is fully formed by 12 weeks and spends the next approx. 6 months growing. The culture of death does not care. I think abortion was the first step toward the Soviet style of country........where religion will be required to go underground in favor of worshiping the Government. Progressive? No. Unconscionable? Yes.
Great job Mr.Hume. We all know how true these statements are when Democrats keep voting against pre abortion counseling and sonograms so the mother can see the actual child they plan on aborting.
Just those two small acts would cut the abortion rate to nothing. The only possible reason to not allow these procedures is sanctioned genocide.
I was very suprised to hear such a strong commentary from Brit.
It was followed through later with comments by members of Bret’s panel
The FReeper Foxphobes can no longer can make a valid case in their tirades.
That argument is rather invalid. It assumes that most of the women who have abortions would have gotten pregnant anyway if abortion were not available. There is no evidence of that. Most women who have abortions do so because they made a deliberate decision not to use birth control (for whatever reason). If the Guttmacher Institute is to be believed, 60% to 75% of abortions are committed on women who did not use contraceptives. The number is probably far higher, since Guttmacher Institute has a strong financial interest in abortion rates remaining high (people condemn abortion less if the mother got pregnant as a result of contraceptive failure than if abortion is her primary choice of birth control).
The bottom line is that most babies killed by abortion would never have existed in the first place if abortion were not legal.
It was Hume’s finest moment!
Does Brit Hume support tea party candidates who would actually work to outlaw abortion? I don’t think so. But, obviously, a good rant.
I think you’re right. We are so far down the road, pain wouldn’t mean a thing to these ghouls. Did it matter to pro-abortionists that Gosnell’s female patients were in agony?
Sadly, you are correct.
I've seen many pro-aborts on message boards expressing their love of pain and death in abortion. If a woman is forced into an abortion, they are gleeful. The fact that the fetus feels pain brings them joy. They revel in the wanton destruction of human life. If a woman expresses regret over having an abortion, they'll say something callous like, "I bet you were glad you were able to have it at the time, weren't you?"
Where we can make in-roads is by educating young women. Hammer into their heads that the abortion industry loves when they decide to use abortion for birth control, because it means significant industry profit at their expense. Hammer into their heads that no abortionist cares about them or their health--the fact that abortion causes future pregnancy loss, premature birth, sterility, and increase in the rate of breast cancer is never disclosed by any abortionist. Hammer into their heads that any abortionist who tells them that the fetus is not alive or that it cannot feel is flat-out lying to them--the brain starts to develop 3 weeks after conception, and by the time the mother learns she is pregnant, all organs are formed and the brain is functioning in its role of master controller of the body. Hammer into their heads that they empower themselves by exercising their right to choose to not get pregnant.
Talk about invalid.
Your conclusion is so faulty, that is based on your first premise {supposition} that MOST women would not have gotten pregnant if legal abortion were not available.
Unknowable.
There will always be abortion, legal or not, in America or not, in state by state or not.
The great unknown, unknown.

Our government has a vested interest in keeping the abortion mills grinding out there grim product.
Speculation on your part but real anecdotal evidence on my part. I have two half-sisters born in ‘57 and ‘60 that were put up for adoption just after they were born. Both had 3 children all now out of the nest.
Roe was heard in ‘73. Likely my two half-sisters would have been aborted if Roe had preceded them.
I am glad they are in the world. And I am glad to have six more nieces and nephews.
