“There was a study made by the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1981. They invited 57 experts from all over the world. These were professors, they were doctors who had important positions at different universities, biologists. They came in and they testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee when human life begins.

“And absolutely all of them said human life begins at the moment of conception. And I’ll just cite a few of the statements here. There was Michaeline Matthews Roth of Harvard Medical. She gave confirming references supported by references from more than 20 embryology and other medical textbooks that human life begins at conception, at fertilization.

“The Father of Modern Genetics, Dr. Jerome Lejeune told the law makers to accept the fact that after fertilization has taken place, new life has come into being is no more a matter of taste or opinion. It is plain experimental evidence.

“There is a Dr. Rockwell. He is Director of Anesthesiology at Leno Hospital in Troy, NY. He observed this in an ectopic pregnancy: They had to remove the child. The child was eight weeks along. And this is what he saw. The embryo sack was intact and transparent. Within the sack was a tiny 1/3 inch human male swimming extremely vigorously in the embryonic fluid while attached to the wall by the umbilical cord. The tiny human was perfectly developed with long tapering fingers, feet and toes, eight weeks. It was almost transparent as regards the skin and the delicate arteries and veins were prominent. The baby was extremely alive and swam about….”
