Man is made in image of God; so sanctity of all human life

WE BELIEVE in the sanctity of all human life. Because man is made in the image of God all human life is representative in some way of our Creator. If we are to survive as a nation and a people we must overturn Roe v. Wade and repent for the destruction of the millions of children and families already destroyed by this evil legislation since 1973. We can no longer call this genocide by the term pro-choice but must recognize its true nature as anti-human. Source: Campaign website, www.electbernie.com, "I BELIEVE" Aug 11, 2010
