When does life begin?

     Human fertilization occurs with the joining of a human egg and a human sperm cell. Most human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, making a total of 46. (Chromosomes contain coils of DNA, the chemical that carries genetic information.) Human gametes (sperm or egg cells) have only one set of 23 chromosomes. When fertilization occurs, a zygote is formed. This fertilized egg contains 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent. Because egg and sperm cells go through a process called Recombination where DNA is swapped around, every fertilized egg is unique (with the exception of identical twins). The single cell zygote contains all of the information necessary to turn that one cell into a complex organism. 

     When you were a zygote, that cell was YOU! If that zygote had been destroyed, YOU would have been destroyed. Allowed to grow, that zygote would not become anything but YOU.  YOU began at fertilization.

Reverse Roe v. Wade?

Attempts to reverse the results of the Roe v. Wade 1973 Supreme Court decision have failed. Proposed Constitutional amendments require a two-thirds majority in each house to pass. In 1974, the National Right to Life Committee proposed a constitutional amendment that stated unborn persons are included in the protections specified in the 5th and 14th articles of amendment to the Constitution of the United States. This proposal did not succeed. Thereafter, a similar amendment, the Paramount Amendment, was presented. This amendment, which proposed that the right to life is vested in every human being from the moment of fertilization, was melded with the Right to Life Committee's amendment, but it failed. In 1983, the Hatch-Eagleton amendment, which states the right to abortion was not "secured" by the Constitution, made it to the floor of the Senate. Forty-nine Senators voted in favor, but sixty-seven votes were needed to get a two-thirds majority. In 1981, Senator Jesse Helms and Representative Henry Hyde pushed for the passage of a human life statute, which declared that human life begins at conception. This statute required only a simple majority vote, but was defeated in the Senate. Because of the unceasing efforts of organized pro-life groups, the fight for a legal end to the effects of the Roe v. Wade decision has continued to gain momentum. Three acts have been introduced in the 111th Congress. On January 7, 2009, Representative Paul Broun (Georgia) introduced H.R. 227--Sanctity of Human Life Act to provide that human life shall be deemed to begin with fertilization. House bill 227 was referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. On January 29, 2009, Senator Roger Wicker (Mississippi) introduced S. 346--Life at Conception Act to implement equal protection under the 14th article of amendment to the Constitution for the right to life of each born and preborn human person. Senate bill 346 was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. On February 4, 2009, Representative Duncan Hunter (California) introduced H.R. 881--Right to Life Act to implement equal protection under the 14th article of amendment to the Constitution for the right to life of each born and preborn human person. House bill 881 was referred to the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties. A bill has to make it out of a committee before it can go to the floor for action. Most bills never come out of committee. Please pray that God will move on the hearts of committee members to send sanctity of life bills to the floor for debate. Continue to pray that God will open the eyes of our Senators and Representatives to see abortion for the evil that it is.

May God have mercy on our nation.
