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: Good News For You Today!
Jenifer
was so weak when she first arrived, she refused to eat. Nurses inserted
a nasogastric tube into her nose to ensure she received the nourishment
she desperately needed.
"I don't think there is anything quite as difficult as seeing a
toddler so weak with hunger that they can't even find the energy to
smile."
Carrie Flaherty, volunteer nurse, remembers when she first saw Jenifer
on the ward: "She was so malnourished I could see the outline of nearly
every bone of her tiny body. At 19 months, she was only 6.6 kg (14.5
lbs)." The average weight for a child this age in the US is 24 lbs.
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink." - Matthew 25:35
Thanks to supporters like you,
the hospital had the critical antibiotics and formulas Jenifer so
desperately needed, and after a few days, she began to gain weight and
was much more interactive. Eventually she pulled out the tube and
started to drink out of a bottle.
Today, one of our generous friends is matching all gifts. That means your donation will be doubled
and more children, like Jenifer, will receive the critical healthcare
and medicines they need to live healthier lives. And healthier
lives means happier, more meaningful lives for mothers and children,
like Jenifer and her mother.
