Why We're Pro-Life

About the Booklet

• Why We’re Pro-Life addresses the legal and cultural landscape of the post-Roe world in which for the first time in half a century there isn’t a radical pro-abortion premise enshrined in the law.
• It avoids the common charge that abortion is a church-state issue by appealing only to up-to-date science and broadly shared beliefs about human rights—not the Bible or religious doctrine.
• It strikes a reasonable tone of peaceful dialogue, much needed during a time of rising temperatures in the abortion debate and even violence and vandalism directed at pro-lifers and churches.
• It is backed by the Catholic Answers brand, which is the mark of quality, charity, and accessibility for a wide variety of readers.

Why We’re Pro Life is a message of hope that shines a bright light on the value of motherhood and the inherent dignity of the unborn child at a time when the fight to defend the unborn returns to the states. Through calm reasoning, this booklet strikes the right tone that will help to shift minds and hearts to the pro-life movement. Catholic Answers is doing its part to demonstrate that the response to a woman in a crisis pregnancy is not violence, death and isolation, but support and tender-loving care. With this booklet, we too can help amplify this loving message to a world that so desperately needs to hear and internalize the truth.
