Pro Life Issues
-
“Human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative action of God and it remains forever in a special relationship with the Creator, who is its sole end. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning to its end: no one can under any circumstances claim for himself the right to directly destroy an innocent human being.”
