When I first became a doctor, I made a promise that I would never perform, assist, or support in any abortion or any abortion procedures. All doctors take an oath. They swear to first do no harm. I made a promise that I would never participate in the taking of a human life. At 10 weeks a baby in their mother's womb has developed a beating heart. At 11 weeks, the baby will have developed elbows, fingers, and toes. And at 27 weeks, a baby inside the womb can hear their mother's voice. It is clear that these children are human--constructed in the image of God--and worthy of protection and worthy of love. It is time to protect human life, it is time to protect the unborn, and it is time to end this egregious practice of abortion. Recognizing the Work of Dr. George Hruza
