“in this age of high technology and medical wonders, there still are many things that are a mystery to the human mind and an awesome reminder of the work of the Creator. We see it when longtime rivals drop their weapons and come together as friends. We see it when those struggling against oppression and adversity succeed and claim the human dignity that is theirs as children of God. And most often we see the fingerprint of the Almighty and his glorious majesty when we look into the bright eyes of our newborn son or daughter. It defies logic and the experience of human history then to think that that which grows inside of the womb is not a part of us, not human, and not alive. Whether by technological means, pharmaceutical means, or surgical means, it is outside of our moral and ethical prerogative to snuff out that which was sown by the Creator. The unborn child is precisely that, an unborn child, and deserves the chance to grasps as much life as Divine Providence will allow. It is up to us as legislators to uphold our sacred duty to protect the lives of the innocent.”
