The Bible contains numerous references to the
unborn child as a living human being.

David writes in the Psalms that God knew him
even in his mother's womb ...etc..

In Deuteronomy, the civil punishment in Israel for
injuring a pregnant woman such that the unborn
child would die is death.

Inside the body of Elizabeth,  as recorded
in the gospel of Luke, the child (John) jumped with
joy upon meeting Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Many, many references are made to the human
person, having all of the qualities of human life,
being created at the moment of conception.
Now let's reason this thing out.
How would you like it if you were going
to be born and were .....terminated?

The waiting list for people wanting to
adopt children in New Jersey is about five years long.
