  • Question #2: How Should We Treat an Unborn Child?

    Posted July 15, 2009 by Rev. Marilyn J. Hart

      Question #2: How Should We Treat an Unborn Child? The Scriptures have established that the unborn life in the mother's womb is a human individual from conception on. Therefore, we will not hesitate to refer to it as a human being or person. How then should we treat this unborn life? Ma...

      Thank you BET and Jackson family for putting together this tribute in such quick order. In my opinion, BET is not racist, but rather living up to its name, despite comments I observed elswhere. Black entertainers have been passed over for years in terms of awards. Let us not forget tha...
