Introduction The one question that we are going to look at “Is it a life?” ~Holy Spirit, please fill our hearts with your love to share to everyone, make our eyes see what you see and transform our thoughts to your thoughts. AMEN

In God's eyes, there are no surprises. We humans, with our limited perspective, are sometimes stunned by the events He allows. But God always has a plan and a provision.

Life At 13 Weeks Old Finger prints Brain waves Heart Beat Brain Control of 40 Muscle Groups Sucks her thumb All organs are functioning

Baby Hope My name is Baby Hope. I am just like an unborn baby at 12 week old. My heart is beating, my brain is active and all my body systems are working. I kick, jump and even turn somersaults. When I get tired I take naps or just stay quiet and suck my thumb. I can’t wait to be born so I can become that special person that God meant for me to be.

When does Life Begin? Life begins at conception. Who says? They do. “I have learned from my earliest medical education that human life begins at the time of conception. I submit that human life is present throughout this entire sequence from conception to adulthood and any interruption at any point constitutes a termination of a human life.” – Dr. Jerome LeJeune, genetics professor at the University of Descartes in Paris (discoverer of the Down Syndrome chromosome)

“Each individual has a very neat beginning, at conception.” – Prof. Micheline Matthews- Roth, Harvard University Medical School

“By all the criteria of modern molecular biology, life is present from the moment of conception.” – Dr. Hymie Gordon, Chairman of the Department of Genetics at the Mayo Clinic

Psalm For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. -Holy Spirit Speaking through David

“I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormenter, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere when Human lives are in danger, when Human dignity is in danger” -Elie Weisel Survivor of the Nazi Holocaust
