When Pope Francis first became head of the Church, I did some research on him.
I learned that, as a Cardinal in Argentina, he was quoted as saying, "Defend the unborn against abortion even if they persecute you, calumniate you, set traps for you, take you to court or kill you."
Strong words from a man who valued the sacredness of life from the moment of conception to the instant of natural death. The late Holy Father was a champion of the marginalized--and no one is more marginalized in our society than the unborn child.
The pontiff also preached a "revolution of tenderness" which the pro-life movement lives out each day. Through its outreach to pregnant women in difficult circumstances, the movement offers mothers the hope and strength they need to carry on amidst trying times.
