more value on our selfishness to do what we want when we want than a human life. Again, it is a human LIFE.

There are so many people who want children yet cannot have them. Yet we are allowing the killing of thousands of babies. I heard a woman once say she would rather have an abortion than have the baby and put it up for adoption.

This is the height of selfishness. Taking the life of a child over giving it the chance to live and be loved by a family who would give anything to raise him or her. This kind of rational is just wrong!

It is my personal belief every child conceived is the will of God. God says in Jeremiah 1:5 " Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;"

"Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb? Job 31:14-16

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb."
Psalm 139:12-14

Isaiah 44:2 "This is what the LORD says- he who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you"

Isaiah 44:24 "This is what the LORD says- your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb."

For all anyone knows the person that could have found a cure of cancer was "terminated" because his or her mother decided it was her body and her choice and that child had no value. What if the person who would have found a cure for AIDS has been "aborted"? Just because certain people refuse to see any value in every life conceived does not mean they are right.

I realize there are those who choose not to believe in God, yet even if you do not believe there is a God the fact still remains. An unborn child is indeed a child. Those who say a woman has a right to choose to end her unborn child's life should stop using the rhetoric that "sanitizes" what really happens when a child is aborted/killed. If you really believe it is not a "child" then you have no right to support or insist on laws that punish other's for causing the end of that unborn life in any other form but abortion.



A woman has the right to choose what happens to her body, but that child within is not "her" body. It is a separate living being. IF you really believe in the right to choose, then choose to prevent that pregnancy in the first place. Show some self control, use birth control there are plenty of options.

With freedom and free will come great responsibility. Murder is now and always has been against the law. Call it like it is, the termination-murder of an unwanted child.
