The Church regards human life inviolable from the moment of conception until natural death. All life is sacred.
All violence is abhorrent and evil.
The Cardinal reacted to comments made by Mr. Hill during an interview from prison in which he said he considers himself a martyr for murdering both a doctor who performed abortions and the doctor's clinic escort. Mr. Hill is not representative of the tens of millions of people who uphold the sanctity of life in all its stages. It is inherently hypocritical to take a life only to prove the point that lives should not be taken.
