PRO-LIFE CORNER - “The fundamental human right, the
presupposition of every other right, is the right to life itself. This is
true of life from the moment of conception until its natural end.
Abortion, consequently, cannot be a human right — it is the very
opposite. It is a deep wound in society.” Pope Benedict XVI
Pray to end abortion.
