  1. Dare We Call it Murder? A Sermon on Exodus 21:22-25

  2. Abortion in History • I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art. –Hippocrates • You shall not kill the embryo by abortion and shall not cause the newborn to perish. –The Didache • In our case, murder being once for all forbidden, we may not destroy even the fetus in the womb, while as yet the human being derives blood from other parts of the body for its sustenance. To hinder birth is merely a speedier man-killing; nor does it matter whether you take away a life that is born, or destroy one that is coming to the birth. That is a man which is going to be one; you have the fruit already in the seed. -Tertullian
