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.

From CMMB: A Special Message for You from Dr. Tom
Dr. Tom Catena in the operating theater in Sudan.
Dear Friends,
Just
yesterday, we were in touch with Dr. Tom Catena, a medical volunteer
who has dedicated his life to serving the people in the Nuba Mountains
in Sudan. He sent us an important reminder that we wanted to share with
you.
"I
just came out of surgery where we operated on a young woman with severe
abdominal pain. All of our equipment in the operating room, all the
drugs, and all the supplies are here because of donors. Our anesthetist
was trained through donations. The operation was a success only because
of the contributions of many people. Most are unknown to me, and are
certainly unknown to this patient, but they are the reason I can save
lives."
"Ongoing
empathy is very difficult when you are detached from people who are
truly suffering. It's much different when you live with people who are
suffering and see the difference that someone's contribution has made.
We have the privilege of seeing the direct results of someone else's
generosity. It's something personal and real and not abstract."- Dr. Tom Catena.
Thank you
for your empathy. We’re grateful to Dr. Tom for reminding us that
together, we are saving lives, every day. Your gift is what makes that
possible.
