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.

NEED TO KNOW: 4 shocking facts about ObamaCare
Dear Friend,
If you're reading this, you must know what a threat ObamaCare is to the American people.
But you may know people who still think the health care law is a good
one. After all, the bill is thousands of pages long; not even the
politicians who passed it have read it. So it's easy for non-political
junkies to hear "health care reform" and figure, "It must be good for me, right?"
ObamaCare may be deliberately complicated, but the facts are out
there. Here are four that you can use to get the truth out about this dangerous law. 1. Employers must fund abortion drugs. ObamaCare requires virtually every employer to provide coverage for contraception, sterilization, and abortion-causing drugs and devices. The ridiculously narrow and capricious conscience exemptions to this rule tend not to include entities like Bible publishers, Christian business owners, and the Little Sisters of the Poor (!).
Individuals and businesses across the country are suing the Obama administration to protect their conscience rights. But if the administration has its way, you will fund abortions should you choose your employer's ObamaCare health plan.
2. The special abortion fund. Any insurance plan that
includes elective abortions requires a separate fee that goes directly
to funding them. But this "surcharge" is very difficult to discover: it
can be described to the prospective customer only during enrollment, and the company advertising the plan does not have to disclose the amount of the surcharge, or even its existence.
Even if you get a non-employer ObamaCare plan, the system is designed to make it very hard to tell if you're funding abortions with it. Click this link to see if your state has made an effort to prevent your tax dollars from directly funding abortions.
3. ObamaCare makes Planned Parenthood the boss. Among
the "navigators," who are given gobs of government money to usher
people into the ObamaCare health insurance exchanges, is abortion giant Planned Parenthood.
As of September of this year, the abortion corporation, whose forced
taxpayer funding skyrocketed in 2011 to $542 million (that's 45% of its
budget!), received an additional $655,000 to peddle ObamaCare.
(They're also getting access to your medical and tax information. Even employees with previous criminal convictions – like for identity theft – will have your Social Security number on hand.)
Live Action has shown that Planned Parenthood lies to and manipulates women to get what it wants. And Planned Parenthood has a huge financial stake in ObamaCare. So where do you think this abortion corporation will "navigate" prospective customers? That's right: to a plan that covers abortion. 4. Death panels.
A board of unelected bureaucrats will set "quality" and "efficiency"
measures, and doctors who don't comply will be banned from contracting
with any health insurance plan. These board members are appointed, not
elected, and Congress has barely any power at all to contest their
life-or-death decisions.
The Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) gets to decide whether
it's "cost-effective" for your doctor to treat you. If it's not, then
you're out of luck...even if you're willing and able to pay. This is a death panel.
Not only is ObamaCare a deadly threat to the unborn, but it purports to let far-off bureaucrats make – and enforce – life-and-death decisions for all of us.
So now you have the facts. But it's not enough just to know. Join us in spreading this information to everyone you know, so we can keep this law from becoming a nightmarish reality. Please forward this to ten friends. Invite
them to click the links and do their own research. They may not agree
with you right away...but at least you'll get them thinking. Every one of us needs to step up and get the truth
out there. Let's stop paying the federal government to kill our babies.
And let's stop paying America's largest abortion corporation to do their
PR.
