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.

Many Voices,

One Undeniable Truth

by Bonnie Finnerty, Education Director

A former abortion worker, a religious sister, and a Chinese exile all walk into a political convention. What may sound like the beginning of a joke is actually what occurred at the 2020 Republican National Convention. And history was made.

Never before has a political convention so boldly proclaimed

a pro-life message. READ MORE

Our Movement is guided and sustained by the wisdom of an older “pro-life generation”

by Maria Gallagher, Legislative Director

The “Pro-Life Generation” actually spans many decades. I was reminded of this fact recently by my interactions with two people in their 90s. Betty, a faithful pro-life leader, has been weathering the pandemic, while still reaching out to pregnant women in need. She has seen much hardship during COVID-19, but she continues to work tirelessly on behalf of mothers and their preborn babies. Ever sharp in mind and buoyant in spirit, she’s the type of pro-lifer I’d like to grow up to be! READ MORE

Eva Mary at 34 weeks

Eva can open and close her eyes, with her pupils constricting if expose to bright lights. Fingernails and toenails are fully formed and growing. Over 4 pounds and almost 18 inches, she is about the size of a cantaloupe.

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.”
