Once a life begins, it should be protected, cherished, and nurturedBy Maria V. Gallagher, Legislative DirectorIn his book Renewing Our Hope, popular preacher Bishop Robert Barron makes note of the “outrageous statement” made in the 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling Planned Parenthood v. Casey. That statement, which will live in infamy, says, “At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, of the mystery of human life.”This nonsensical sentence has governed abortion law in the U.S. for decades. It mis-defines liberty as limitless. For, while we are a nation founded on liberty, we are also bound by laws which are supposed to be handed down for the common good.

Featured in a recent ABC News story, Madi flew to Mississippi’s lone abortion facility, with her mother’s blessing it should be noted, to get the abortion she could no longer get in Texas. “I had to keep in mind that I was doing this for me,” Madi said.At 13 weeks, Madi was in her second trimester, and her child was about 3 inches long, the size of a peach. His heart was beating, his gender distinguishable, and his vocal cords newly formed. He could respond to light touch, turning his mouth toward it, an indication of the rooting reflex used when nursing. Madi’s baby could even hiccup. His little body was physically joined to but genetically separate from his mother. His body was not her property.
