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.

Planned Parenthood Brings Anti-Parent Lawsuit Says Fr. Pavone

STATEN ISLAND, NY, Aug. 3 /Christian Newswire/ -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, said today that Planned Parenthood of Alaska's lawsuit to prevent a parental notification for abortion initiative from ever being voted upon reflects the group's anti-parent mindset.

"Planned Parenthood doesn't want parents to know what it's doing to their daughters or their unborn grandchildren," said Fr. Pavone, "because it thinks it knows better than parents what's good for young girls. This lawsuit is one more example of Planned Parenthood's anti-parent bias."

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.
