Anti abortion groups and the Roman Catholic church state that God created each and every human, that each person was intended, their life planned, mapped out and built in the womb of the mother, before the child is delivered, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mothers womb", "My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place."
