The fruitfulness of the mission of the Church depends on the unity of the Church.
Nothing takes more human life than abortion.
Approximately 60 million human lives are destroyed each year around the world by this practice. In the United States alone, the tragic toll is one life every twenty seconds. The defense of life is a task of the whole Church. Priests have their role and laity have theirs. One of the missions of the Priests for Life Association is to help build bridges between priests and people who are particularly active in the movement to end abortion.
