CHOOSE LIFE –“The Fundamental human right,
the presupposition of every other right, is the right to life itself. This is true of life
from the moment of conception until its natural end. Abortion,
consequently, cannot be a human right – it is the very opposite. It is “a deep wound in society,. In stating this, I am not expressing a specifically
ecclesial concern. Rather, I am acting as
advocate for a profoundly human need, speaking out on behalf of those unborn children who
have no voice.”
(Pope Benedict XVI)
