The Importance of Free Agency in Life

Lucifer was one of Heavenly Father's most brilliant spirits. He asked to be sent to earth where he would force all of us to return to our Father's presence without choosing for ourselves whether or not we wanted to do right. Because His plan was rejected, Lucifer became angry and rebellious. In one-third of the spirit children who chose to follow Him were cast out of heaven. Every time there is an abortion some place in the world there is yet another spirit child that can't come to this mortal existence.
