women today. Should they or should they not be able to have an abortion? There are

that at the moment of fertilization the ovum takes on an entirely different destiny. About
15,000 genes from the sperm and ovum form a unique combination. This is nothing less

stopped performing abortions after becoming aware of the horrors he observed. Dr.
Nathanson has a photo of an aborted fetus and believes that abortion is nothing less but ...
