God knew us all before we were conceived in our mother's womb. As Jeremiah prophesied;

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart;"

He has a plan for each one of us before we are born. As human beings, I don't think that we have the right to terminate that plan. 

I used to think the same way as you about abortion, Lillian, thinking that we had the right to choose whether life began at birth or at conception. But later on I realized that we choose the point of birth purely because it's more convenient for us, both as people and as a society. However, with modern medical technology, a child can be born several months early, and yet live a full life.
