January 22: Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children - The Pro-Life Declaration
The Pro-Life Declaration
1.
I believe that every human being is a unique and unrepeatable gift
of God, made in His image and likeness, in order to know, love and serve Him in
this life, and to be happy with him forever in Heaven.
2. I believe that every
human life begins at the moment of conception and lasts until natural death.
3.
I believe that all people are endowed by their Creator with the
inalienable right to life, for, without the right to life, no other individual
rights are possible.
4.
I believe that abortion is nothing less than depriving an innocent
person of their life, their most basic human right, and therefore, that
abortion is gravely evil and never permissible, even in the cases of rape or
incest.
5.
I believe that assisted suicide and euthanasia should never be
condoned. Instead, dying patients who request euthanasia should receive loving
care, spiritual support, and appropriate remedies for pain so that they can
live with dignity until the moment of natural death.
6. I believe in mercy
and compassion for all who have been impacted by the effects of abortion and
for all who are confused and frightened in today's culture of death.
