"Abortionists appear unimpressed by the argument that, since human life must surely begin somewhere between conception and birth, he who would snuff it out must bear the burden of proof. Are their rationalizations and evasions no more than evidence of the compounded philosophical confusion of an affluent society enslaved by hedonism? Or does the truth go deeper and blacker than that? Perhaps what they are afraid to face is not the humanity of the unborn child but their own willingness to become utilitarian killers of their own kind."--Fr. Paul Marx,Apostle of Life, The Death Peddlers, pp. 155-56
Prayer: Lord, give wisdom to your people, that they may properly exercise their responsibility to defend life in every circumstance.
