Every other human group seems to have a history dedicated to it, it seems that it’s about time for the unborn to have history written about them as well. Introduction to Article
In this timeline, I focused on events. So it doesn’t give the whole picture: not the trends, or statistics, or general practices. I simply wanted to give people an idea of what a history of the unborn could look like; what type of events, ideas and discoveries contributed to the situation of the unborn today. One might think that the history of the unborn would focus solely on abortion. I have found that to be untrue. There is a lot to write about the unborn, and a lot left to be studied and written.
The History of the Unborn Child
If you like my Timeline, please share it. I also encourage you to blog about pro-life history. In the 1980’s it was often said: If abortion is murder, act like it! Well, we can’t stop abortion right now. I would simply like to rephrase that and say: If the unborn are human, act like it! Write their history! I promise you right now there is a historiographical effort to denigrate the unborn and their rights. If we can’t have the unborn respected through politics or popular culture, we can do it through history.
