2 Ready to Flip? Ready to Flip? Ready to Flip? Ready to Flip? Ready to Flip? Ready to Flip? Ready to Flip? Ready to Flip? Ready to Flip? St. Michael Catholic Church Do you consider your life to be precious? I certainly hope so! Given that your life is precious, just WHEN did it start to become precious? Perhaps when you finished law school with a degree MAGNA CUM LAUDE? Perhaps right at birth? So when did you start to become precious? Even before your birth? You were already precious and valuable at nine months. What about 8 months? Yes! What about at 6 months and 25 days? Sure! Were you precious at 5 months? Yes!! I would like to propose that you were even precious at a week, a day, and yes, at the very moment of conception! You were precious in the mind and heart of God even before conception "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you!" (Jeremiah 1:5) If we really believed that life is precious, all abortions would simply be out of the question!! Fr.
