Pro-Life
‘A PEOPLE OF LIFE AND FOR LIFE’
Recently, Pope John Paul said, “There can be no true peace without respect for life, especially if it is innocent and defenseless as is that of the unborn child. Elementary coherence requires those who seek peace to safeguard life. No pro-peace activity can be effective unless attacks on life at all its stages, from conception until natural death, are as energetically opposed.” The pro-life movement, he said, is an “authentic peace movement” precisely because of its constant effort to protect life.
"Building a World of Justice and Mercy, Freedom and Peace” must include building a world where the rights of the innocent unborn are protected. When that is done, justice and mercy, freedom and peace will follow. With eloquent simplicity, Mother Teresa said much the same thing in her famous address at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington in 1994. “The greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion,” she said.
This past year saw positive gains for the pro-life movement. We must capitalize on these successes to restore the right to life for all from conception to natural death. Our efforts to make a difference for life are working.
We are entering a new, higher level of involvement in the pro-life movement in the United States and throughout the world. The need is urgent and our timing is on target.
