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.

Fr. Pavone Praises Oklahoma House Committee's Vote Against Sex Selection Abortion

STATEN ISLAND, NY, Feb. 18 /Christian Newswire/ -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, today praised the Oklahoma House Public Health Committee for voting 20-2 to ban sex selection abortions.

"Sex selection abortion may seem unthinkable, but it now happens in the U.S. In fact, if the argument of abortion proponents is 'choice,' then how can they argue against this practice if that's what someone chooses?" Fr. Pavone asked. "I hope abortion proponents stay consistent with their position so that America can see how extreme they are."
