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.

EMERGENCY: Haiti's Earthquake Victims Need Medicine
Our local staff providing relief to the victims right after the earthquake.
A
5.9 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti Saturday night. The epicenter was
located close to the city of Port-de-Paix but the earthquake was felt
across the country.
On Saturday night, right after the earthquake struck, our local staff was providing relief
to the victims, as local health facilities were completely overwhelmed.
On Sunday, our Haiti Country Director, Dr. Dianne Jean-Francois,
traveled to the affected area and conducted an assessment of the
situation. She told us:
"14
people have been killed and around 200 injured. Most of the victims
need emergency surgeries. We need antibiotics, anti-inflammatory
medicines, and orthopedic supplies to conduct emergency surgeries. The
infrastructure is damaged and electricity is a challenge - we need
generators."
