John Frame, in the book Medical Ethics, says this:
“There
is nothing in
Scripture that even remotely suggests that the unborn child is anything
less than a human person from
the moment of conception.”

NJ: Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Company, 1988), p. 95.
Job 31:15 (NIV)
15 Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?
Dr. John Ankerberg & Dr. John Weldon
“Anyone
familiar with recent Supreme Court history knows that two years before Roe v.
Wade, in October of 1971, a group of 220 distinguished physicians,
scientists, and professors submitted an amicus curiae brief (advice to a
court on some legal matter) to the Supreme Court. They showed the Court how
modern science had already established that human life is a continuum, and
that the unborn child, from the moment of conception on, is a person and must
be considered a person, like its mother (95:19, 29-30). The brief set as its task, “to show how clearly and conclusively
modern science — embryology, fetology, genetics, perinatology, all of biology
— establishes the humanity of the unborn child” (95:7).
For
example, “In its seventh week, [the preborn child] bears the familiar
external features and all the internal organs of the adult. . . . The brain
in configuration is already like the adult brain and sends out impulses that
coordinate the function of other organs. . . . The heart beats sturdily. The
stomach produces digestive juices. The liver manufactures blood cells and the
kidneys begin to function by extracting uric acid from the child’s blood. . .
. The muscles of the arms and body can already be set in motion. After the
eighth week …. everything is already present that will be found in the
full-term baby” (95:13-14). This brief
proved beyond any doubt scientifically that human life begins at conception….”
“What difference does it make that human life
begins at conception? The difference is this: If human life begins at
conception, then abortion is the killing of a human life.”

Human
Life Matters to God
Matthew 18:14 (ESV)
“…..it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.”
Ecclesiastes 11:5 (NLT)
5 Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother’s womb….”
“Jesus loves the little children, all the children
of the world. Red, Brown, Yellow, Black and White, they are precious in His
sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.” And this includes from
the moment of their conception!
All human life matters to God. Life in the womb
matters to God and life outside the womb matters to God. From conception to
the cradle to the grave. There is not a time in which human life does not
matter, especially to God, the author, creator, sustainer and giver of life. Consequently those who terminate a baby’s
life process, development and birth will have God to answer to.
In Proverbs 6:16-17 (NLT) God speaks of seven things He hates and one
of them is: “…..17 hands that kill the innocent,
Matthew 18:10 (GW)
10 “Be careful not to despise these little ones. I can guarantee that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father, who is in heaven.
