  1. The Gospel of LifeChapter 3 “You Shall Not Kill”God’s Holy Law

  2. “It makes no difference whether one is the master of the world or the poorest of the poor on the face of the earth…before the demands of morality we are absolutely equal.” John Paul II

  3. All Life is Equal in the Eyes of the Lord

  4. Procured abortion is the deliberate and direct killing of a human being in the initial phase of his or her existence, extending from conception to birth.

  5. Put yourself in the position of the child in the womb. A place you have been before. Describe some of the characteristics of the child in the mother’s womb.

  6. Your mother doesn’t know you and she has not seen your face. Should she have the right to end your feeble life? Should you have the right to deny her? Who should represent your needs and rights?

  7. Under our Government, normally your entitled to certain rights to include “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”The child in the womb gets none of these.

  8. “Old age is characterized by dignity and surrounded by reverence”(cf, 2 Mac 6:23)

  9. What have the elderly done to make your life better?

  10. Euthanizing the elderly shows our disrespect for them.

  11. The Church allows strong painkillers to alleviate suffering.

  12. Legitimate Defense This can be not only a right but also a grave duty for someone responsible for another’s life, the common good of the family or of the state. In the case of taking the aggressor’s life…the fatal outcome is attributable to the aggressor whose action brought it about.

  13. Capital Punishment The only justified execution would be to protect society from the individual. By executing the individual, you deny him any possibility of redemption in front of our Lord and society has itself violated God’s law.

  14. Laws which legitimize the direct killing of innocent human beings through abortion or euthanasia are in opposition to the inviolable right to life proper to every individual.
