That&#8217;s <strong>800 potential people<\/strong>, if I can put it like that.  It they were children t would be considered nothing less than a genocide! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From a non-christian perspective a human being is nothing more than a <strong>body<\/strong> with a <strong>brain <\/strong>that provides it with personality, etc.  So the issue comes down to <strong>when <\/strong>one believes lif begins, or even when does a life become <strong>viable <\/strong>and <strong>valuable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:28px\">If a baby is wanted it has value.  If it isn&#8217;t wanted it can be killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, from a Christian (and other religions) perspective, a human being is <strong>Mind<\/strong>, <strong>Body <\/strong>and <strong>Spirit<\/strong>.  There therefore has to be a point at which the human spirit (soul if you prefer) is created or enters the fetus.  Many would argue that it is at <strong>conception<\/strong>.  When else could it be?  Once a sperm enters an egg all the <strong>DNA <\/strong>of the future person is sealed, locked in, programmed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was stunned by the <strong>fuss <\/strong>and <strong>furore <\/strong>in the press in early April 2022 over the babies that died in an NHS hospital in the U.K.  I cannot get my head around the fact that the &#8220;loss&#8221; of 200 fetuses is considered wrong, when abortion is legal.  It therefore seems to come down to this.  If a baby is wanted it has value.  If it isn&#8217;t wanted it can be killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then again in a world that cannot even define what a woman is, should I be surprised?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:28px\">Why oh why can people not see the bizarre contradiction surrounding abortion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>America<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the huge concerns in America at least is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-ceo-expand-abortion-harris\/?_hsmi=110871903&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_QRFcXQtm6XDh62M1r5HuMFU8G7FbKVgwU2zeZWvNXiG0xPpiU0ENGW126l9LbrE2RYODs9ex54WiUekPzQKrRjuKMug&amp;__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=03be4e3097be42587fb84c814cdd676e6af2e449-1613380519-0-Aa7fM5zg32Oqe6S99uM8Nr_VTvIqPUyUe6eCyNKm3IpsQwgp-q6Ki5lwdBIv1TAdVrdVvnhY7DncHHkg5VhicJbAAPx5H3rCHLHb84dUTLch7jQ8iUbnTY-i62wfRllxabLQrJPs0Yjw2E1p0E_9iAoOXLRZzDf12kE4X-iSHpoRyr1UoxXQHr3Yh9PhAQFpKapPAfdhpPwFpw8EbuMumxPAo8UzxWHxiFv118Y20PCiEQwrr5B7B3-dWqfa_LrKE7WaUecmnC9Jiv78a_G5TyYqImimeVnGvz5ZKV6AYFsrEa45Ge-RTSvso9u833Q0uZ9h_YKdZ-3jhfLXz4WeQUzddHrbm4jvsmJ22GW_uQ3mSne1S58-Ejmm3bMK7HK0B3daeQr1pxTsa1IJdDuNbshT9hs_vzKGsSz2V2gR8aaGJ1NK7RxCxiMMKI7eorO7EA4NqXKsirtWzbn3KQprqyC5F4it0RaO9V55N0ZkNAUMQ3WcuW1bH99lHGtMWI2jk3FDWY__c3hS7MBB3qF2t_ZZxOmYyOBEqAHx-Lpzzsh9\"><strong>sale <\/strong>of aborted &#8220;tissue&#8221;<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pro-life Evangelicals for <strong>Biden <\/strong>say they feel \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianpost.com\/news\/pro-life-evangelicals-for-biden-say-they-feel-used-and-betrayed.html?uid=045061237d\">used and betrayed<\/a>&#8216; by president on abortion.
