ST. STEPHEN PRO-LIFE COMMITTEE

Meetings: 1st Friday 8:15 pm
Ann Gehring, Chairman e-mail


We are committed to protect all life from conception to natural death. Our goal is to present pro-life information to the parish and to bring legislation regarding life and family issues to the attention and action of parishioners. We support organizations such as: Priests for Life, American Life League and National Right to Life.


All are welcome to attend any meeting.



As the US Bishops wrote in Living the Gospel of Life,
"Abortion and euthanasia have become preeminent threats to human life and dignity because they directly attack life itself, the most fundamental good and the condition for all others. Abortion, the deliberate killing of a human being before birth, is never morally acceptable. The destruction of human embryos as objects of research is wrong. This wrong is compounded when human life is created by cloning or other means only to be destroyed. The purposeful taking of human life by assisted suicide and euthanasia is never an act of mercy. It is an unjustifiable assault on human life."

We urge Catholics and others to promote laws and social policies that protect human life and promote human dignity to the maximum degree possible. Laws that legitimize abortion, assisted suicide, and euthanasia are profoundly unjust and immoral. We support constitutional protection for unborn human life, as well as legislative efforts to end abortion and euthanasia.
