Quote from Dr. Lisa Noel Babbage, “Regardless of your faith belief, you cannot deny the fact that life begins at conception and our founding fathers believed in that principle and they designed our country based on the fact that life is given from the Creator. So, for us to paint a picture that life does not begin at conception or that it is a Christian thing to have an abortion, we are really fooling ourselves. But Lady Liberty says something that’s so poignant. She says, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free.”
That’s the child in the womb, a huddled mass yearning to breathe free, to have a chance to live out the character of his creed.
When we abort, we deny that child what every immigrant who has come to this country has been given through our Constitution, a chance at life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Each child in the womb deserves that.”
