The promotion of the culture of life...

"The promotion of the culture of life should be the highest priority in our societies...If the right to life is not defended decisively as a condition for all other rights of the person, all other references to human rights remain deceitful and illusory."
~ Pope John Paul II, February 14, 2001 ~

At the Origin of Every Human Being

"...at the origin of every human being there is not something haphazard or chance, but a loving plan of God."
~ Pope Benedict XVI in Valencia, Spain July 9, 2006 ~

God, the Lord of life...

"God, the Lord of life, has entrusted to men the noble mission of safeguarding life, and men must carry it out in a manner worthy of themselves. Life must be protected with the utmost care from the moment of conception: abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes." [nefanda sunt crimina]
~ Vatican Council II, Church in the Modern World §51, edited by Austin Flannery, O.P. ~
