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.

40 Days For Life: DAY 4: Advice from a demon
There's one--and only one--key to making your involvement in 40 Days for Life fruitful: Entrust EVERYTHING to God.
Titled "Uncle Screwtapes's 7 steps to a useless 40 Days for Life campaign", the episode (named after the classic C.S. Lewis demon) counts down the easiest ways to ruin your 40 Days for Life experience.
The
campaign in London, England is underway at the Marie Stopes abortion
facility where the first British 40 Days for Life campaign was launched
nearly a decade ago.
Though
one passerby shouted, "Respect a woman's choice!" it's clear the
campaign in the capital of the United Kingdom is making an impact.
"Hundreds of babies have been saved outside this clinic,"
said 40 Days for Life Director of International Campaigns Robert
Colquhoun."Most of the hours are already filled, which looks very
encouraging."
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
About 100 40 Days for Life participants in the Steel City braved frigid winter weather for a one-mile lighted balloon procession.
Pittsburgh
is one of a number of cities across America where Planned Parenthood
tries to discourage vigil participation by asking donors to "pledge a
picketer." (It's always about money, isn't it?)
But pro-lifers are not deterred. Participation in the local vigil spans more than 80 churches across the Pittsburgh area!
"Someone is always there from 7 am 'til 7 pm every day," said Tim, who volunteers for the local campaign.
Then
the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found
favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring
forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great, and will
be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the
throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob
forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
— Luke 1:30-33
Heavenly Father, you have made the womb of each woman a very special
place. Help us to hold fast to the sanctity of this first home of
humanity, remembering the wonderful mystery, that God inhabited the womb
of a young woman and came forth as the savior and deliverer of the
world.
