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: Sebelius' Support for Abortion Contradicts Purpose of Health and Human Services

STATEN ISLAND, NY, March 2 /Christian Newswire/ -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, commented as follows on the nomination of Kathleen Sebelius for Secretary of Health and Human Services:

"It is not appropriate that an individual who supports abortion occupy this post. Abortion has nothing to do with health. There is no disease that abortion cures and there is no medical benefit to the procedure. Both Kathleen Sebelius and Barack Obama should know better."
