<p>&#8220;I get asked a lot of questions. Perhaps one of the most difficult ones has been, “How do I view abortion?” It is not politically correct to be against abortion because everybody is supposed to have their rights, including a woman who is supposed to have the right to terminate the life of a baby. It is a difficult question because people tend to be so set in their opinions. But here’s how I respond to the question of abortion – “Is it alive?” Take an endoscope and put it into the uterus of a 20 week fetus and see a tiny creature moving about – reacting to stimuli, having eyes, a mouth, little fingers, the heart’s beating, and all kinds of things are going on. Tell me that’s not a living organism. I just don’t buy it! <span class="post-teaser-more">&nbsp;<a href="http://heartsunitedforlife.com/?page_id=6" title="Permanent Link: Our Shared, Moral Responsibility" rel="bookmark">Read more...</a> <i>(1149 words, estimated 4:36  mins reading time)</i></span></p>
