Custom-made of a higher plan,
   set in place for eternal motion,
So ordained by the great I Am.
   object of Grace for Christ's promotion.
 
Do not dare to touch His work.
Whom He made He has planned.
Though a small affair God has not shirked. 
Art of holy grade by His command.
 
Are we so proud to end what He started,
Do we play God in snuffing out life?
To bring about an act so evil-hearted,
   giving our nod to that sacrifice?
 
Even before we came to be
   we were precious in His mind.
Check His good word and you will see,
   you exist because He is kind.

Note: Concerning the sin of abortion.
 
Dare we interrupt what God has planned to be, that of a life precious to Him? Are we so arrogant as to end a life for the sake of convenience?
 
When I read the Bible I read that for each person born there comes with them a custom-made plan for that life.

“Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
      'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
      Before you were born I sanctified you;
      I ordained you a prophet to the nations.'” - Jeremiah 1:4-5
“For You formed my inward parts;
         You covered me in my mother’s womb.
 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
         Marvelous are Your works,
         And that my soul knows very well.
 My frame was not hidden from You,
         When I was made in secret,
         And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
         And in Your book they all were written,
         The days fashioned for me,
         When as yet there were none of them.” - Psalm 139:13-16
