Abortion and Pro-Life Issues a Key to 2012 Election
The pro-life movement has long recognized abortion as the most important and fundamental issue of our day. For good reason, a candidate’s position on the right to life has weighed heavily in the voting booth for those who believe in the dignity of human life.We recognize that “the direct and intentional destruction of innocent human life” as the Bishops of the United States have emphasized, “from the moment of conception until natural death is always wrong. Abortion is not just one issue among many. The destruction of innocent human life must always be opposed.”
The Bishops here recall the Fifth Commandment – “Thou shall not kill.” They call to mind the disorder that entered into the world when Cain viciously murdered his brother and God says to him, “Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the soil.” Our Shepherds remind us of Saint Thomas Aquinas’ emphasis that every human being, by nature, desires to preserve life, and that murder is an affront to our natural human inclination.http://www.lifenews.com/2012/03/08/obamas-massive-pro-abortion-record-a-2012-election-issue/
