Dietrich Bonhoeffer

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 being has been deliberately deprived of his life. And that is nothing but murder.

*nascent: just coming into existence and beginning to display signs of future potential.
