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 29: You're the difference
Every abortion appointment is booked out of hopelessness and despair.
Which means your prayer presence on the day of that appointment represents that which is most needed--hope. Every life saved at a 40 Days for Life vigil is the result of someone like YOU daring to trust in God's mercy and love in that crucial moment.
In 40 Days for Life's FREE DAY 41 magazine, we take a deeper look at the most beautiful stories of God's loveand mercy in action.
From Iowa to Australia, we gobehind the scenes with the local heroes who are saving babies, changing hearts, and ending abortion right where they live.

The
abortion facility in Santa Maria usually performs abortions on Mondays
and Fridays. But the local campaign team reported that on one recent
abortion day, no lives were lost.
"There are no nurses, no abortionists, no girls...only children playing in the courtyard," wrote the campaign team. "There were no abortions today; it's a miracle!!!"
Wilmington, North Carolina
Teri in Wilmington reported an increase in first-time volunteers praying at her vigil.
"Men standing on the corner...fervently praying for life," she said. "What a sight to see!"
She
also praised a group of teenagers for standing vigil. Their presence
received mostly positive feedback. But negative reactions from a few
passersby "led to a deeper conversation about abortion and what we can
do to stop it."
Meridian, Idaho
"What do a Catholic, a Quaker, and a Messianic Jew all have in common?" asked Meridian leader, Emily.
"They were all out on the sidewalk outside of Planned Parenthood praying for an end to abortion together!"
It's no joke.
"The Spirit is moving," Emily said. "We are seeing more new prayer warriors this campaign than ever before!"
Who
is a God like You, pardoning iniquity and passing over the
transgressions of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His
anger forever, because He delights in mercy. He will again have
compassion on us; and will subdue our iniquities.
— Micah 7:18-19
Hear
our prayer of repentance, Lord, and cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. We praise you for your tender mercies and your
compassion that never fails. Lord, it is only by Your grace that we can
live lives that are just, and merciful.
May
Your Holy Spirit enable us to walk humbly in Your presence and may You
be pleased to restore our nation so that a generation not yet born may
praise you.
