- We must stand up for God’s principles, especially the sanctity of life
and speak against the destruction of the image of God, the temple of the
Holy Spirit occurring with the destruction of innocent human life.
- We must be watchman, our brother’s keepers—not just for the unborn but
for the other victims of abortion that need healing—especially mothers
of aborted children.

- In the Roe v. Wade decision, Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun wrote
that, “(If the) suggestion of personhood [of the pre-born}] is
established, the [abortion rights] case, of the course, collapses, for
