Joshua Warren
Although he had been a Christian for many years, Joshua's eyes were opened to the true horror that is abortion after reading a book by Lennart Nilsson, entitled, "A Child is Born". The remarkably detailed photos taken inside the womb using advanced photographic technology left no doubt that abortion was quite simply, the willful murder of a living person.
