Catholic Bishop Condemns Abortion: "All Human Life is Sacred From Conception"
The chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Pro-Life Activities has voiced strong support for legislation aimed at revoking the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the dangerous abortion drug mifepristone.

Editorial
Imagine not being able to go to church without fear. Imagine having to hide your faith from your friends, your neighbors, or even your government. For millions of Catholics around the world, this is not just a possibility - it is their everyday life. Religious persecution is often talked about in general terms, but for many Catholics, it is deeply personal. In many countries, they face discrimination, violence, imprisonment, and even death simply because of their faith. While the modern world often presents itself as tolerant and progressive, the truth is that Catholic Christians remain one of the most persecuted religious groups today. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives Susan Ciancio A mother recently told me that, when she found out that her baby had a 99% chance of having Down syndrome, her first course of action was to do an online search for what she could expect. What she found frightened her. Julie Grimstad Profound respect for the sanctity (i.e., inviolability) of human life has traditionally been the core ethical principle of medicine, but that is no longer the case. Due to policies driven by a godless worldview, vulnerable patients are increasingly in danger of deadly harm. William Lawyer Before children are born, we cannot communicate with them, touch them, or interact with them in the same ways we can with a child who is born. Hearing a baby's heartbeat or seeing an ultrasound image can be powerful, but to some people, the preborn child may seem much less real than the already-born babies we see around us. That is why, for decades, we have been bombarded with messages seeking to downplay the fact that abortion kills a human being. Mark Powell Drawing on the wisdom of Thomas Aquinas, this article explores a biblical framework for immigration - balancing compassion for foreigners with the responsibility of nations to protect unity and the common good.

It insists upon respect for the integrity of the marital act, according to God's plan, in a society which believes that one may manipulate the marriage act, as if God did not exist, in order to eliminate its essentially life-giving nature. Judie Brown With just a single sentence, we are immediately in touch with man's absolute disdain for the human person. The sentence reads: "A couple aborted a healthy preborn baby at six months after learning that the fertility clinic had given them someone else's embryo." Judie Brown Studying the language and actions of those who support the direct killing of human beings, from their first spark of life at inception until their last breath, can leave a person speechless. The devious acts of those who support such tactics is a constant source of sorrow for many of us. God has instructed us in His Word, so we must learn and teach that man may never manipulate human life. Man is called to love every human being because each and every person is a gift from God made in His image and likeness. Richard J.
