In the Scriptures, God shows us that his priorities are always with those in society who are most defenseless — the widow, the orphan, the stranger. That is why the Church has spoken up for the child in the womb since the early days of the Roman Empire. That is why today, the Church continues to see abortion and euthanasia as grave evils and the most fundamental injustice in our society.
