Human life is sacred. Because life begins at conception, all innocent life should be protected at every stage of the human life cycle. To destroy life at any point is to depreciate life at every point on that spectrum, thus putting every person ultimately at risk. The taking of life through abortion is a heart-wrenching tragedy for all of those involved, from the innocent unborn babies whose lives have been destroyed to the desperate mothers in crisis who have been falsely led to believe that abortion is their best option. Therefore, it is incumbent upon leaders to leverage our influence to create a culture of life whenever possible.
