“The greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the

child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself.”

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

“It is a very great poverty to decide that a child must die that you might live as you

wish.”

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

“And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how

can we tell other people not to kill one

another?”

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

"A great prayer for life is urgently needed,

a prayer which will rise up throughout the world. Through special initiatives and in daily

prayer, may an impassioned plea rise to God, the Creator and lover of

life, from every Christian community, from every group and association, from every family and from the heart of every believer.”

Pope John Paul II

“I would now like to say a special word to women who have had an abortion. The

Church is aware of the many factors which may have influenced your decision, and she does not doubt that in many cases it was a painful and even shattering decision. The

wound in your heart may not yet have healed. Certainly what happened was and

remains terribly wrong. But do not give in to discouragement and do not lose hope. ”

Pope John Paul II

“The future of humanity passes by way of the family."

Pope John Paul II

“Give us the grace – When the sacredness of life before birth is

attacked, to stand up and proclaim that no one ever has the authority to

destroy unborn life.”

Pope John Paul II

“In this great endeavour to create a new culture of life we are inspired and sustained by the confidence that comes from knowing that the Gospel of Life,

like the Kingdom of God itself, is growing and producing abundant fruit.”

Pope John Paul II

“The Church says life is beautiful, it is not something to doubt, but it is a gift even when

it s lived in difficult circumstances. It is always a

gift.”

Pope Benedict XVI

“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

“We in the Church have a great struggle to defend life…life is a gift,

not a threat.”

Pope Benedict XVI

“The freedom to kill is not a true freedom, but a tyranny that reduces

human beings to slavery.”

Pope Benedict XVI

“In the name of Life and in the name of the dignity of the human person we

cannot stand by and allow this assault of life to continue. Yet, it is not sufficient for us as Christians to

condemn abortion. We must give practical help to women for whom

being pregnant is a problem.”
