To be pro-life is to be pro-woman. Frank Pavone, director of Priests for Life, puts it this way: "We do not say, 'Love the baby and forget about the mother.' Rather, we say 'Why can't we love them both?' We can and we must. To harm one is to harm the other; to love and serve one is to love and serve the other." Priests for Life takes this approach based on the leadership of a remarkable Christian leader who died about 5 years ago, Pope John Paul II. In his book Crossing the Threshold of Hope, the Pope said "in firmly rejecting 'pro-choice', it is necessary to become courageously 'pro woman,' promoting a choice that is truly in favor of women...The only honest stance...is that of radical solidarity with the woman."
Let all people of good will work for the genuine welfare of both women and children. No to abortion; yes to life.
