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: How Can You Prevent Death From Treatable Diseases?
Malaria, an easily treatable disease, is the leading cause of death in South Sudan. Worldwide, malaria kills over 1 million people every year.
Viola was just a baby when her mother died from malaria.
Amina had been suffering from severe headaches for days, using
traditional remedies, but nothing was working. By the time she reached
the hospital, it was too late. Richard recalls the terrible day his
wife and the mother of their children died:
"My wife was unconscious by the time we
reached the hospital. She was diagnosed with severe malaria. They gave
her medicine, but it didn't work. She never woke up again."
"We
miss her every day. I just pray, hoping God will take away some of the
pain. I pray especially for our children. What is life without a
mother?" - Richard, South Sudan
Richard
is now raising his young family alone and wants to protect them. "It
was malaria that killed my wife. So I have to do what I can to ensure
that it doesn't cause more pain to my family. I want to keep my children
safe by sleeping under mosquito nets and seeking medical care if they
get sick."
Malaria
kills more than 200 people every day. You can help to ensure that
families like Richard's have access to mosquito nets, quality
healthcare, and essential medications that keep them alive and healthy.
