DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

11 babies saved.
Submit a saved baby.

News, updates, and more!

Hello Deacon! Just over two months ago, No Baby Left Behind was launched. And almost two month later, we have received a great response from the pro-life community.

Within two months, over 10 saves have been reported to No Baby Left Behind! Also keep in mind the fact that there are many other saves happening every day that we haven't heard about. If you are involved in a pro-life group, organization, etc, make sure you tell all of your friends about No Baby Left Behind. The more people who know about it, the more saves we'll hear about!

Featured save story

During the beginning of February, No Baby Left Behind received a submission from a sidewalk counselor who had encouraged a pregnant woman to keep her baby and receive an ultrasound at a Crisis Pregnancy Center just minutes away from the abortion clinic.

By the time the ultrasound was complete, the woman was surprised to find out that she was not only carrying one child, but twins!

Make sure you check the No Baby Left Behind website frequently to see how many babies have been saved.

Lots of great things are in store for No Baby Left Behind. Within the next few months, new features will be added to the website (like a page with frequently updated save stories), so stay tuned! The No Baby Left Behind blog is launching very soon, too! We'll email you when the blog is launched.

By the way, if you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to email us at our new email address: hello@nobabyleftbehind.org.

LIFE IS SACRED

An example of the traditional magisterial teaching which indicates that it is never morally licit to intentionally kill a child through abortion in order to “save the life of its mother” comes from the teaching of Pope Pius XII:

“Every human being, even the infant in the mother's womb, has the right to life immediately from God, not from the parent or any human society or authority. Therefore, there is no man, no human authority, no science, no medical, eugenic, social, economic or moral ‘indication’ that can show or give valid juridical title for direct deliberate disposition concerning an innocent human life-which is to say, a disposition that aims at its destruction either as an end in itself or as the means of attaining another end that is perhaps in no way illicit itself. Thus, for example, to save the life of the mother is a most noble end, but the direct killing of the child as a means to this end is not licit.”
