To the editor:
Science confirms that at the very moment of conception, a genetically unique human being is created, with DNA different than the mom and dad and anyone else. The unborn life is not a "part" of a women's body like a kidney or lung. The unborn child is a unique human being living inside of the mother, a person different than any person who ever lived or will live, with the mother supplying nutrition and oxygen. You and I, and all of the people we know, began our lives at the very moment of conception.
With this fact established, then it is also a fact that every abortion ends the life of a unique person. That cannot be disputed.
A life ended by abortion is a life that will never be created again.
Ending the life of an innocent human being should never be tolerated in a society, yet that is what is occurring with abortion. No doubt, there are difficult situations in life. But the solution to a difficult situation should not be to end the life of an innocent person.
Family, friends, churches and society as a whole should be supportive of the mom, dad, and unborn child, including those times when the circumstances are difficult. God, the Creator of all life, has given us the precious gift of life. Let us together choose life.
