This is Teresa.

Thirteen months ago she was born.

Nine months before that, she was conceived.

She has rights too. First and foremost, the one to her own life. 

This is Teresa, she is a human being, she has a soul, and she has, and had the right to life.

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,

before you were born I dedicated you,

a prophet to the nations I appointed you."
