  6. How are these culture of life issues related? Pope Francis in the Holy Land said: “Every child needs to be accepted and protected…children need to be welcomed and defended, from the moment of their conception.” “As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.” Pope Saint John Paul II

  7. “O God, you knit me together in my mother’s womb. Wonderful are your works.” (Psalm ???) “Human life is sacred and inviolable at every moment of existence, …. God who searches them and knows them, … forms them and knits them together with his own hands” (St. John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae, 61).

  8. “Conception is the beginning of human life. From the time that an ovum is fertilized a new life begins that is neither that of the father nor of the mother. It is rather the life of a new human being with his own growth. It would never become human if it were not human already.” Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Declaration on Procured Abortion, 1974
