Legislators who support abortion have reconsidered their position when they see the gruesome reality of partial-birth abortion. Our Church continues to offer life-promoting programs. The Archdiocese is currently running advertisements in shopping malls, on public transportation systems and on college campuses to promote Catholic Social Services' Pregnancy Service Hotline . Professional counselors are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for women facing unplanned pregnancies. One beautiful way to give a child life is through adoption .
Adoption is a most selfless, loving gift which benefits parents, children and families.
Abortion also leaves spiritual and emotional scars on its other victim, the mother. Our work is not done. We must pray daily for the protection of all human life. We must remain committed citizens, willing to champion critical values in our society, especially the right to life. Please speak out against abortion, and help both its victims.
