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.

Week in Review

No one can ever say that 2020 was not a challenging year on many fronts. Today, we take a quick look at the many happenings that we must face head on. Then, we will give you the solution—a solution that works better when more people make use of it.

ALL in the News

This week, American Life League officials released a scathing statement calling out the USCCB for congratulating “Abortion Joe” Biden, and for calling Catholics to “compromise” on Church teaching. The statement was made the focal point of a CNS News article.

Pro-Life Social Media

Why can’t abortion leaders ever learn their lesson? What good will come out of a tweet celebrating the birth of babies if you’re the former president of the nation’s largest and racist abortion organization—Planned Parenthood?

Video of the Week

The elections have ended and pro-life advocates are left wondering what’s next. Katie and Dwain discuss the five things we can still do, no matter who wins the White House.

Action Item of the Week

Sometimes, the “action item” does not even require you to leave your home, make a phone call, or send an e-mail. We face tremendous obstacles in American society, but today’s action item will put the emphasis where it is needed.

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.”
