“When did your life begin? When did you have value as a human being created in God’s image? Look to Jesus for the example. God started Jesus’ human experience at conception! He was fully a person, completely man, and alive with a purpose! Abortion ends a life which began at the same point Jesus’ life began. Abortion stops a beating heart which started beating in the first month. just like Jesus’ heart did. We know this because of Christmas. To destroy God-given life is sin.”
