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.

Pro-Life Youth Picket Hillary Campaign Offices

"Not about a political party"

Pro-life youth group holds protest outside Hillary Clinton campaign offices in Los Angeles, promises more of the same elsewhere in the country

The pro-life youth organization Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust held a demonstration on July 6 outside the Los Angeles campaign offices of Hillary Clinton protesting the Democratic presidential candidate's "radical pro-abortion agenda."

"This is not about a political party, but rather about youth taking a stand against anyone who promotes an act that kills a child, permanently scars a woman, and has wiped out one-third of our generation," Survivor's member Kelly Antonczak told Christian Newswire.

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.”
