Here are some helpful quotes to consider as we deal with the growing epidemic of the murder of the unborn. Also, please consider some of the resources for your own reading.
"Destruction of the embryo in te mother's womb is a violation of the right to live which God has bestowed on this nascent life. To raise the question whether we are here concerned already with a human being or not is merely to confuse the issue. The simple fact is that God certainly intended to create a human being and that this nascent human being has been deliberately deprived of his life. And that is nothing but murder."
Dietrich Bonehoeffer
"How can infanticide be wrong and abortion be a basic right? Both mean the killing of a baby, and both represent the Culture of Death at its most deadly."
Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr., President of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
