One
afternoon in May, Lindsey Graham, the Republican senator from South
Carolina, took the Senate floor to ask for a vote on a provocatively
named bill: the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would
ban abortions after twenty weeks of gestation. “There are only seven
countries in the world that allow elective abortions at this stage,” he
said. “At twenty weeks, people have been born and survived.”

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.
