God is the author of life, and He has given every single individual supreme value. Each life
(whether inside or outside the womb) should therefore be valued by us.

God knows the plans He has for each individual and has written in His book all the days
ordained for us before one of them came to be.

When we presume to know better than God who should be given life, we are putting ourselves
in the place of God and are guilty of idolatry.
