It is very sad when a mother feels compelled to consider an abortion. Abortion is the deliberate termination of a pregnancy. This cannot be right, because it concerns the deliberate ending of a human life. Every abortion involves the death of a child.
Although it is still tiny, an embryo is a human being with dignity and rights. Like any man or woman, this little person is entitled to his or her life. That life begins at the moment when an egg cell is fertilised by a sperm cell. From that moment onwards, the embryo is a unique person who is entitled to receive care and protection from his parents and a safe environment to grow up in.
