Speaking Up For Life

In early August, it was discovered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has contracted with a California fetal tissue procurement company to use aborted baby body parts in experiments to transplant and develop a functioning human immune system in mice … Live Action president Lila Rose stated … “The FDA’s purchasing of fetal tissue from aborted babies is immoral and horrific, violating human dignity and implicating the American taxpayer in the gruesome trade of human body parts. By issuing a contract to acquire human fetal tissue, the FDA is using American tax dollars to pay for human body parts that can only be acquired from aborted babies. These children deserved care and protection but instead were violently stripped of their fundamental rights and are now being sold piecemeal. The company that the FDA is doing business with, Advanced Bio Resources (ABR), is currently under federal investigation for colluding with Planned Parenthood to sell aborted baby body parts for profit. We call on the FDA to terminate its contract with ABR immediately and cease the experimentation on the bodies of aborted children.” (Live Action News, 8/7/18; CLR

“In every task you tackle, at every moment in life, in whatever situation you find yourself, you have a calling, a vocation. You get to bless people. You get to show God’s love. You get to elevate the conversation, change the perspective, and bring dignity into a difficult world. You get to live in the life that He gifts you with, love meant for you, love meant for all.” Rev. Dr. Gregory Seltz, speaker on The Lutheran Hour

They are created, redeemed, and called, and as long as God gives them life, He gives their lives meaning and purpose.” Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, former executive director of Lutherans For Life “We have been freely received by the Lord God … Since He generously extends compassion and forgiveness to each human being, we receive as freely, respect as fully, and defend as fiercely as we have been received, respected, and defended.” Rev.
