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 Passage of Abortion Ultrasound Bill

STATEN ISLAND, New York, June 1 /Christian Newswire/ -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, today praised the Nebraska legislature and Governor Dave Heineman for their enactment of LB 675, a bill which will allow women to view ultrasound images of their babies prior to abortion.

"The post-abortive women I've met and counseled suffered because the truth about abortion was hidden from them," said Fr. Pavone. "By letting women see images of their children and thereby reducing the number who go through with abortion, this legislation will protect many from physical, emotional, and spiritual pain."

Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.
