From the Desk of Dr. Ben
Carson:
Hello,
I feel like our
culture has forgotten—or ignored—some very important and basic lessons
when it comes to the development of human life.
Our society has
been infected by an anti-life ideology, treating its most vulnerable members as
disposable objects. Abortion that was once thought of as a last resort in a
medical emergency has become the new normal.
Medicine tells us
that life begins at the moment of conception. It also tells us when an unborn baby
develops a heartbeat, brainwaves, and nervous system. Yet, despite all of this,
the unborn are not treated as though they are alive or even human.
As a
surgeon, I have operated on infants pre-birth. I can assure you that they are very
much alive.
Life is a precious
gift that has been given to us from our creator. No person is disposable, and
every life is precious according to Him.
I believe that
everyone deserves life, even those who have been denied this right by our society.
I believe that together we can make a difference and bring dignity and a voice to
the unborn. I also believe that Iâm not alone in this belief.
I believe that you
believe that too.
Iâve started
working with a group of like-minded individuals who are looking to change our
culture. We want to build a society that values life but that takes people like
you and I making a commitment.
The first step is
clearly stating what we believe and what we are willing to do to protect the lives
of the unborn. Will you join me today and stand up
for those who cannot do it for themselves?
Iâve created a new
pro-life pledge; Iâd love your support. Would you read the pledge below to see if
you align with our shared goals and are willing to commit to fighting for the
lives of the unborn?
