The Christian belief in the sanctity of life is based on the teachings
of famous Christians and on what they read in the bible, the teachings

abortion is wrong is from Psalm 139:13, verses 15-16,
"You created every part of me;

strengthen this view, Jeremiah 1:4-5
The Lord said to me, 'I chose you before I gave you life, and before
you were born I selected you to be a prophet to the nations."
This seems to suggest, as did the last quote, that...
