HHS to define human life as ‘beginning at conception’
Live Action ^ | October 12, 2017 | Nancy Flanders

Posted on 10/17/2018 3:54:01 PM PDT by Brown Deer

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a draft of its new strategic plan for 2018-2022, and with the addition of a few small words, it’s clear that there is a major change.

Formerly, the document stated the following in its introductory information:

HHS accomplishes its mission through programs and initiatives that cover a wide spectrum of activities, serving Americans at every stage of life.

The new edition now states this:

HHS accomplishes its mission through programs and initiatives that cover a wide spectrum of activities, serving and protecting Americans at every stage of life, beginning at conception.

The change might be just three words, but its meaning is deep. It signifies that at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services knows and accepts the truth, that life begins at conception (fertilization). Pro-life activists have said it for decades, scientists have proved it, and abortion supporters have denied and flat-out ignored it, but it’s true: life begins the moment a new human life is created – at fertilization. HHS is committed to protecting those lives.

Fantastic. Now thanks to Kavanaugh we can get Roe v Wade struck down and restore some decency to our society.

Gee, sort of like God said in Jeremiah with …”Before you were formed in the womb I knew you.”
What a concept.

When the sperm cell penetrates the egg cell, it transfers a copy of it’s genes to the egg where they are paired up with their matching genes in the egg.
At that moment everything you will ever be is there encoded in those DNA strands in the genes.

" beginning at conception. "

Straight forward biology. The science has been done for decades.

Somehow I think the reaction will not involve much decency in the streets.

It's about time for Congress to define human life too.

How long before some Judge declares that it is unconstitutional?

Yes. DNA experts in criminal trials testify that your individual DNA begins at conception.

I predict scientific research someday will force a reversal of Roe v. Wade changing it from the right of the mother to the right of the child.

Perhaps the prayers and works and sacrifices of the saints and the patience of God Almighty are beginning to pay off.

Perhaps then God may even spare our nation of his impending wrath, if we continue to show due improvement toward His ways.
