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 22: Show me the money
Deacon John,
Planned Parenthood says it offers more than abortions -- but everything it does is geared towards recruiting potential abortion customers.
Pregnancy and STD testing, for instance, brings in clientele who could
one day return. And 40 Days for Life offers an opportunity to meet those
people and steer them in another direction.
Kathy in Columbia, Missouri tells of the young woman who arrived for an STD test -- which she thought was free.
It wasn't.
Since she had no money, Planned Parenthood simply sent her away.
Donna in Dover, Delaware had a similar conversation with a young man who assumed the STD tests at Planned Parenthood were free.
She also spoke to two women who wanted to have children, but didn't
realize Planned Parenthood did abortions. They described the center as "creepy" and "evil."
Donna said, "I considered it a good day full of education -- and no abortion!"
Despite crazy 50-mile-an-hour-plus crosswinds on our late-night drive
here ... the UNITED bus safely made it in time to Wyoming ... where the
locals rocked their statewide rally in Casper.
We were told this was the largest turnout ever for a pro-life event in
this city -- more than 125 enthusiastic people who came from across this
gorgeous mountain state -- a state that has only one remaining abortion center.
Local campaign leader Bob Brechtel, who spent ten years in the state
legislature, said 40 Days for Life has done more to accelerate the end
abortion of in Wyoming than all the laws passed during his decade in
office!
With long miles between locations in the mountain states, this was our only event of the day. Next up -- an 8-hour drive to Salt Lake City for the Utah state rally.
How's this for a mid-point rally? A flash mob -- singing and carrying
signs through a local farmers' market! Watch the video ... [more]
Flint, Michigan
A couple drove into the abortion center lot and parked. The woman got out ... then got back in. They moved to another parking place ... [more]
Who
among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this,
in His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.
-- Job 12:9-10
Thank you, Father God, for being the Creator of my life and every life.
Please give me, and the society in which I live, an appreciation for
your gift of life. Please help us set aside our pride and acknowledge
that we need you. Show me how I can honor you today in response to all
the blessings you bestow freely.
