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.

The Necessity of Christian Zeal
Do people truly understand the meaning of zeal-and its importance? Far too often, there is a negative connotation associated with the word. But we must all have zeal. We must all have a passion that drives us to follow Jesus with our whole hearts, our whole bodies, and our whole minds. Read today's guest commentary for more on why having zeal is essential for every Christian.
Fourteen U.S. women have died after taking RU-486 and a total of 2,207 reported adverse effects after using the drug, according to a report from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released this summer. The FDA report, released in mid-July, shows a significant rise in women who have been subjected to "adverse effects" resulting from taking RU-486 since the previous report in 2006 noted 1,100 women. Approximately 1.52 million women have used the abortion drug through the end of April 2011.
In conjunction with the 11th anniversary of the legalization of RU-486 in the U.S., the father of a young woman who tragically died as a direct result of taking the abortion pill has launched an educational website, AbortionPillRisks.org.
In 2003, 18-yr-old Holly Patterson died of septic shock seven days after she took RU-486 at a California Planned Parenthood. Since then there have been nine other reported deaths in the U.S. due to sepsis (serious blood infection).
Holly's father Monty has been an unswerving advocate for women since his daughter's death, tirelessly educating the public and elected officials on the harm of RU-486.
In a new fundraising email in response to his beginning a congressional investigation, the president of the Planned Parenthood abortion business is aggressively attacking the congressman who called for it. About the letter Planned Parenthood received weeks ago, Richards says, "Representative Cliff Stearns (R-FL), the chairman of a House oversight committee, just sent us a letter announcing that his committee has started an 'investigation' of Planned Parenthood and demanding that we hand over financial and other records from every Planned Parenthood health center. He's grasping for something, anything, he can use to discredit, damage, or destroy us."
