The life of a baby begins long before he or she is born. A new individual human
being begins growing in the mother's uterus at fertilization, and if the baby's life is
not interrupted, he or she will someday become an adult man or woman. Worldwide, millions
of unborn babies are killed each year. In the United States over 40 million unborn babies
have been killed in the 28 years since abortion was legalized and more than 1.4 million
are killed each year.
Before discussing abortion, however, it is important to review the scientific facts about human development. Starting at birth and traveling back in time. the life of each human being can be traced to the beginning of his or her own individual life: fertilization.
