Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
Ours is a nation of laws. Because the U.S. is a constitutional republic, the very fabric of American society has been woven on the premise that every citizen is subject to the law, and that the law itself is subject to constitutional limitations. Such a premise has served our country remarkably well and has produced one of the most effective legal systems ever devised. Unfortunately, the law's subjection to the Constitution has recently come to entail the law's subjection to the Supreme Court. In other words, at present, nine justices can place themselves "above the law," making a mockery of constitutional republicanism.
Only by understanding the power the Court wields, and the nature of the problem such power creates, can we understand the ramifications of the abortion decisions.
[Starting tomorrow, I will post a series of condensed articles from "A Resource Manual" on the horrors of abortion, infanticide & euthanasia]
