Changed Lives

Doctor Accepts Christ

Your program on abortion shook me. I am a 29 year old doctor. I believe abortion is murder. The fact that this is done to a defenseless, innocent child causes anguish. It makes no difference whether the child is in the mother's womb or not. I know what abortion is. It is cruel. A child has the ability to feel pain and therefore death is torture for the child.

Recently I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour. Now I study my Bible. Please send me more literature. Be blessed.

Respectfully,

- Kira, Kiev
