"And That Is Nothing But Murder."

"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 human being has been deliberately deprived of his life.

And that is nothing but murder…”

(From Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Ethics)
