WASHINGTON, March 22 /Christian Newswire/ -- Fr. Frank Pavone, President of the National Pro-life Religious Council, stated this morning that the Council, comprised of pro-life groups from many Christian denominations, is calling upon believers to make the next move in the health care debate.
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.

National Pro-life Religious Council: Health Care Battle Just Begun
"The American people have spoken in this debate and yesterday our legislators spoke back. So the ball is in our court again. Pro-life people across America remain concerned about the abortion provisions in this bill, despite the President's Executive Order. Moreover, a wider coalition of Americans oppose this legislation for other reasons. We are confident that the legislation will be challenged on many fronts, not only in public opinion, but also by legal challenges. Meanwhile, the People of God should press forward in expressing their concerns, calling for corrective legislative action, and preparing for the elections in November," Fr. Pavone stated.
