mother would have produced an egg and it would have been roughly 2 weeks after her last period. Conception occurred when Martha’s mother and father had sexual intercourse, where her father’s sperm was ejaculated into her mother’s vagina. After ejaculation the sperm travels up towards the egg where it then fuses with the egg and creates a new living being that goes on to grow into ‘Martha’. The conception date may have been the day they had sex, or some days later because sperm can live in the body for

Abortion pills can be found at clinics, and they are usually accompanied by

It is an especially difficult decision for those of Christian beliefs as IVF is not widely received within the Christian community and not clearly addressed in the Bible. I first want to take a look
