The Gospel Of Life
“The process which once led todiscovering the idea of ‘human rights’—rights inherent in every person and prior to any constitution and state legislation—is today marked by a surprising contradiction. Precisely in an age when the inviolable rights of the person are solemnly proclaimed and the value of life is publicly affirmed, the very right to life is being denied or trampled upon, especially at the more significant moments of existence: the moment of birth and the moment of death.”
Pope John Paul II
(Evangelium Vitae 18.3)
