The Wisdom Of The Ages

Albert Schweitzer "If a man loses reverence for any part of life, he will lose his reverence for all of life.

George H. Williams "Two thousand years of Jewish-Christian history maintain that the fetus is a person with the right to life. We maintain that the fetus is a person with the right to life. We know very well that what has happened in the conception is the emergence of a new being and all it needs is time."

Paul Ramsey "There is more than one patient in the case of abortion. Since the individual's unique genetic code or genotype is established at the moment of fertilization, the zygote itself (the fertilized egg) should be considered human."

Helmut Thielicke "Once impregnation has taken place it is no longer a question of whether the persons concerned have the responsibility for a POSSIBLE parenthood; they have become parents."

Tertullian 200 A.D. "For us, since homicide is forbidden, it is not even permitted, while the blood is being formed into a man, to dissolve the conceptus in the uterus. For to prevent its being born is an acceleration of homicide, and there is no difference whether one snuffs out a life already born or disturbs one that is in the process of being born. For he is also a man who is about to be one, just as every fruit already exists in the seed."

Barnabas 14:11 "Thou shalt not destroy thy conceptions before they are brought forth; nor kill them after they are born."

Didache 2:2 "You shall not slay a child by abortions."
