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.

Dr. Alveda King: It's Senator Reid's Bill that Would Treat People Like Property!

ATLANTA, Dec. 9 /Christian Newswire/ -- Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral Associate and Director of African American Outreach for Priests for Life, today commented on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's remarks comparing opponents of his health care bill to supporters of slavery.

"Senator Reid has written a bill that would force Americans to pay for the abortion of babies and he implies that opposition to his efforts is evil? His comments are outrageous!" said Dr. King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "It's Senator Reid's bill that treats unborn humans like property. If anything, it's his actions that should be compared to support for slavery."
