Nor do we tire of repeating their needs, because with each passing day, new people are involved in these forms of human suffering. We as priests do not refuse to take a sick call simply because we have taken a thousand of the same kind before. We as a community do not refuse to repeat, day after day and week after week, the needs of the poor, sick, and dying. The law has called them non-persons, and abortions kills one of them every 20 seconds. Those killed today never died before, which makes abortion a new tragedy every day.
Nothing takes more human life.
The abortion tragedy has so many dimensions, furthermore, that a different angle can be addressed each time. In the light of such an immense tragedy, it really is the least we can do. Priests for Life supplies prayer materials for parishes. It is a myth to think that terminally ill people normally want to end their lives. And the terminally ill know it.
