"Destruction of the embryo in the mother's womb is a violation of the right to live which God has bestowed upon this nascent life. To raise the question whether we are here concerned already with a human being or not is merely to confuse the issue. The simple fact is that God certainly intended to create a human being and that this nascent being has been deliberately deprived of his life. And that is nothing but murder."

Personally I feel the distinction to be necessary. Otherwise we are just dealing with a ball of cells which is "not human". The intent to create a human life is not enough I think.

Right on. If God didn't want that baby, He wouldn't send it. For all we know we could have just prevented a world changing person from entering this world.
Anonymous,
becuase murder happens does that mean God 'wanted' it to happen?
World changing people get murdered everyday.
