Those who would do anything to have a baby and those who would do anything to get rid of one.

The topic of abortion has fast become prominent in society and has also become widely accepted. As we know, abortion is taking the life of a fetus. A couple creates a baby "by accident" and decides that they don't want it. Recently, I met a lady who was unable to have a baby. In the end, she was able to conceive through In-Vitro. Through this deep, touching conversation, I truly felt hurt how people have the power to create life so easily but decide to give it up. They simply make a decision for the fetus. It's a life or death decision made for someone else. Others want a child very badly. They are unable to naturally conceive. These people would do anything in their power to conceive a child. This showed me a contrast in those who get things easily but doesn't appreciate the gift and those who just aren't so lucky but work hard for the gift of life.

"For whatever you do, you do to the least of my brethren. I was in my mother's womb, but you took me"

If you recall reading the Bible, Jesus mentioned, "whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do to me." This quote relates very closely to our Pro-Life belief. Abortion is taking the life of a baby/fetus; the least of Jesus' brethren. Whatever we do to these helpless souls, we do to Jesus. 47,000,000 lives of fetus have been taken through abortion. Although the fetus are physically dead, we believe that life begins at conception and so their souls still live. In Judgment Day, those who decided to give up the lives of a fetus through abortion will be judged by their actions for "I was in my mother's womb, but you took me" They will be judged for what they did to the 47,000,000 fetus.
