“A free and virtuous society, which America aspires to be, must reject practices that devalue and violate human life at any stage from conception until natural death. In defending the right to life, in law and through a vibrant culture of life, America can show the world

the path to a truly humane future, in which man remains the master,

not the product, of his technology.”

~Pope John Paul II
