Fr. Pavone and Dr. King: Yes, Abortion is a Holocaust ATLANTA, Sept. 23 /Christian Newswire/ -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, along with Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Pastoral Associate of Priests for Life, issued the following statement today in response to concerns that the description of abortion as a "holocaust" trivializes what happened to our Jewish brothers and sisters: |
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.
