Abortion: Birth Control or Legal Murder?
Approximately 1.6 million murders are committed legally each year. With the

therefore it is wrong to murder the innocent child in the womb. At a US Senate
Judiciary Subcommittee meeting, most scientists said that life begins at
conception or implantation of the embryo. No scientist at the meeting claimed
that life begins at birth (Factbot). Professor Hymie Gordon of the May...
