My opinion ‘’ Life and dignity of the human person every human person is created in the image and likeness of God. Therefore, every person’s life and dignity must be respected and supported from conception through natural death. We believe that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person.’’ When a baby is still inside the mother stomach called the zygote regardless there should be no reason to annihilate a human being it is still human life. The people that do to that is wrong they are cold hearted. Several reason is why do they have an abortion clinics and why can’t the mayor of the city or the governor of the states shut it down The right thing to do is if you don’t want the baby or you cant take care of it give it up for adoption because there are a lot of loving, caring families that would love to take care of a baby.
