Is An Embryo “Potential Life”?
In this video, we respond to the claim that life at conception is only “potential life.” We look at the biological facts and explain why that framing does not reflect current scientific understanding.

“You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.”—Leviticus 19:15 For fifty years, the pro-life movement in America has marched, lobbied, and legislated.
