Bonhoeffer on abortion

“Destruction of the embryo in the mother’s womb is a violation of
the right to live which God has bestowed on 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.”/

/–Dietrich Bonhoeffer/
