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.

Pro-Life Laws Do Save Lives

Over the years many states have enacted limits on abortion. Please watch why this is an important step in saving lives and working toward an end to the culture of death.

A clear and decisive victory for preborn babies and their mothers in Pennsylvania

By Maria V. Gallagher,

Legislative/PAC Director

On Wednesday, I wrote about the great pro-life enthusiasm there was for pro-life candidates in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In spite of massive pro-abortion money poured into the state, preliminary vote counts indicate that the PA House and Senate will maintain their pro-life majorities. Today I’d like to focus on one clear and decisive victory for preborn babies and their mothers.

Erie March for Life

On Saturday, January 23, Erie March for Life will mark the 48th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, which struck down the abortion laws of all 50 states and allowed unborn children to be killed in the womb for any reason at any time during pregnancy. Everyone who is able to walk is strongly encouraged to do so, but those who would have difficulty walking the distance are encouraged to ride in the motorcade that will follow the marchers. The March will get underway from Perry Square in downtown Erie at 11 a.m.

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.”
