The Pro-Life View on Abortion

Religious Beliefs and Civil Rights

Psalms 139:13-16

13- For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. 14- I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. 15- My frame was not hidden from You. When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16- Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned form me, When as yet there were none of them.

Jeremiah 1:5

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

Civil Rights

Our founding fathers, in the charter of this republic spoke clearly, stating "we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights — of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
