WHEN DOES HUMAN LIFE BEGIN?

A Zygote - A Baby - A Life

When there is a new living organism of the human spieces, distinct from mother and father and ready to develop and mature if given a nurturing environment, there is the beginning of human life. With today's embryology, we recognize that new life begins at conception. The Catholic Church does not teach this as a matter of faith, but as a matter of objective fact.

Although there is no adorable face (yet), no tiny fingers (yet), no precious little feet (yet), this is the infant life that needs our voice, our hands, our support by offering assistance to all mothers and fathers in need.
