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.

We have been discussing abortion in our society for parts of the last six decades. Our society has demanded a “right” to abortion. We counter with the fact that abortion kills one of God’s children. Now, abortion is presented as a comedy!

Last week, former presidential candidate Alan Keyes interviewed American Life League vice president Hugh Brown. Hugh and Alan discussed hot-button political issues especially pertaining to abortion in America.

Big families, smaller carbon footprints. Children are awesome. Dig deep in the mind of an abortion advocate and you’ll find a disdain for children and the people who co-created them.

Last week on our Friday Instagram Livestream, we discussed the parts of the 2020 Democratic platform that contradict Catholic teaching on the sanctity of human beings.

Twice a year, we have the opportunity to stand for God and for His preborn children. It is a call for us to peacefully and prayerfully leave our homes and proclaim the truth. The next opportunity begins on Wednesday. Won’t you join us?

LIFE IS SACRED

An example of the traditional magisterial teaching which indicates that it is never morally licit to intentionally kill a child through abortion in order to “save the life of its mother” comes from the teaching of Pope Pius XII:

“Every human being, even the infant in the mother's womb, has the right to life immediately from God, not from the parent or any human society or authority. Therefore, there is no man, no human authority, no science, no medical, eugenic, social, economic or moral ‘indication’ that can show or give valid juridical title for direct deliberate disposition concerning an innocent human life-which is to say, a disposition that aims at its destruction either as an end in itself or as the means of attaining another end that is perhaps in no way illicit itself. Thus, for example, to save the life of the mother is a most noble end, but the direct killing of the child as a means to this end is not licit.”
