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.

Family Watch International Alert: "Pro-life Geneva Declaration Under Attack!"

A Message from Family Watch International

"Alert: Pro-life Geneva Declaration Under Attack!"

"A powerful abortion lobby funded by George Soros, Planned Parenthood, UN agencies and more have launched an all-out assault on the pro-life, pro-family Geneva Consensus Declaration (GCD). Click here to see our previous alert on the GCD.

These well-funded groups are pressuring African countries and telling them they must withdraw.

Will you please take just a few minutes to help us stop them?

Please sign our letter thanking the 32 countries for signing the GCD and urging them to stand firm. We need to thank each of these countries for doing the right and the brave thing—for standing for life and family, even in the face of extreme opposition.

As part of the same campaign, we invite you to also sign our second letter urging the 161 countries that have not signed the Geneva Consensus Declaration to sign it now.

You can sign the letters at familywatch.org/genevadeclaration.

It will only take a minute. Then please forward this alert on to others you think might be willing to sign on.

See more information about the attacks on the signers of the Geneva Consensus Declaration below.

Thank you for your help! It is critical that we encourage these countries to stand strong in their resolve to protect life and family!"

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.”
