Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, during an interview earlier this year on “America with Jorge Ramos”  is asked by Ramos when life begins.  Her answer, “For me, I am the mother of three children. Life began when I delivered them.”

Biologists and embryologists say that life begins at conception. “At the moment the sperm cell of the human male meets the ovum of the female and the union results in a fertilized ovum (zygote), a new life has begun,” according to the 1976 Van Nostrand's Scientific Encyclopedia. The 1993 book Before We Are Born: Essentials of Embryology and Birth Defects says fertilization “represents the beginning of a human being.” Numerous other textbooks reveal the same conclusion.

What does the Bible say?
Psalms 139:13-18
For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in Your book
    before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are Your thoughts, God!
    How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
    they would outnumber the grains of sand--
    when I awake, I am still with You.


God created life – in His image. He formed us and knows every detail about us before birth. And, God thinks about you all the time!
