The scriptures emphatically teach the great importance of the respect and preservation of human life. In the Declaration of Independence our nation’s Founding Father wrote that everyone has: “unalienable rights”, and that among these right are “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. “We Americans not only believe this for our land, but also we send our brave military men and women around the world to defend the right of those who are threatened. “You shall not murder” Exodus 20:13 “you shall love your neighbor as yourself” Matthew 22:39
If people and nations do not grant ultimate respect and protection to both the born and the unborn, all other professed morals and values are meaningless. The dignity of human life is not just a principal of the Bible—it is the first principal of any civilized society.
John Hancock, President of the Second Continental Congress Signer of the Declaration of Independence
