In order to justify abortion, unborn babies are often referred to as “a pregnancy.” But from the moment of fertilization, a genetically unique person is present. And the growth of this little person is amazing!

By just four weeks the tiny heart is beating, and by the second month the brain and spinal cord are well-formed. A month later the baby can open and close the tiny fists. Fingernails, toenails, and even fingerprints are forming. By the end of the fourth month the baby is fully-formed and just needs to mature.

A baby is a human being from the moment of fertilization, and each baby is knit together by God.
