Thoughts on the value of human life.
REDEMPTIVE GRACE
For many who have experienced an abortion, life can be a struggle to bear up under grief, despair, and condemnation. Honoring the sanctity of life provides the catalyst for hope, forgiveness, and freedom. The vast majority of women are unaware of precisely what they are doing when they choose to undergo an abortion. They are utterly unaware that their child has fingers, toes, a heartbeat, and brain waves.
SCRIPTURE AND THE SANCTITY OF LIFE
From beginning to end, Scripture declares the value of the human being, born and unborn alike. We are not merely human beings. We are human beings created in the image of GOD. We are creatures who possess intrinsic value. We are created.
THE IMAGE OF GOD, HUMAN VALUE, and THE GOSPEL
If human beings are not intrinsically valuable at conception, then there is nothing to instill intrinsic value in us at any point thereafter… To deny intrinsic value at conception is to assert that any value later attributed to the individual must have been gained through means of his own making.
SCIENCE AND THE SANCTITY OF LIFE
If abortion does not take the life of a human being, meaning, if the unborn are not human, then there is no reason, ever, to oppose abortion.
