Human beings are created in the image and likeness of God. Therefore, life is sacred. Abortion is the destruction of an unborn and innocent human child. Women, too, are victimized by abortion. They suffer at the hands of those who exploit them, those who disregard their ultimate well-being, often for the sake of personal profit.
Abortions take place in the United States almost always for the sake of convenience.
Rarely are questions of rape, incest or the life of the mother involved. To begin with, one party of the partnership, the child, is not given a choice. He or she is presented with someone else's decision. That decision is not ours to make. The idea that a person can oppose abortion personally and defend and support it publicly is no more applicable to abortion than it is to any other social or moral question.
