The morality of abortion is not up for vote. Abortion is an intrinsically evil act. Moreover, the Roman Catholic Church consistently has condemned abortion — the direct and purposeful taking of the life of the innocent unborn child. In principle, we believe that all human life is sacred from conception until natural death, and the taking of innocent human life, whether born or unborn, is morally wrong. The church teaches, “Human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative action of God and it remains forever in a special relationship with the Creator, who is its sole end. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning until its end: No one can under any circumstance claim for himself the right directly to destroy an innocent human being” (“Donum Vitae,” 5).
