“In protecting human life, we must begin with a commitment
never to intentionally kill, or collude in the killing,
of any innocent human life, no matter how broken,
unformed, disabled or desperate that life may seem. We
urge Catholics and others to promote laws and social
policies that protect human life and promote human dignity
to the maximum degree possible. Laws that legitimize
abortion, assisted suicide, and euthanasia are profoundly
unjust and immoral. We support constitutional
protection for unborn human life, as well as legislative
efforts to end abortion and euthanasia” (Faithful citizenship
US Bishops, 2003).
