Human Life

In Genesis 1:27 we are taught that we are made in the image and likeness of our creator.
In Matthew 5 we are taught to love our enemies.
As our Lord died on the cross he forgave those who were responsible for his death.
Christianity has always taught that human life is sacred. In the early second century we read in the Didache that abortion is a gravely evil act.

Each day the world moves further away from the Christian understanding of the person. Who will continue to teach that the human person has an inherent dignity? Only those with an explicit Christian faith have any reason to believe that all life is sacred. If you reject the Christian faith then you reject the foundation on which human dignity stands.
