Abortion

Abortion is in reality the painful killing of an innocent human being. The life taken is innocent simply because he or she has done nothing worthy of capital punishment. Being a product of human parents and having a unique genetic code makes the unborn life unquestionably human.

We will be bothered by our moral conscience by the sinful act we’ve done; because we know in ourselves that there are a lot of ways we can carry out if we really want the developing individual to live, and give it the chance to experience the life like ours.
