I'm going to bold what I liked the most.
JESUS Christ is Life. To stand with Him is to stand with life and to stand against what-ever destroys life
Lord, enable me to devote more time, energy, and resources to the greatest human rights movement of our day, the pro-life movement.
TAKE this and eat; this is My Body.
—Mt 26:26
REFLECTION. Supporters of abortion say, “This is my body, I can do what I want.” Jesus says, “This is My Body, given up for you.” The same words are spoken from opposite ends of the universe with totally opposite results.
Your merciful Father awaits you, so he can give you His pardon and peace.
—John Paul II to those who have had abortions … The Gospel of Life, 99
What if it's an earthly pardon? Maybe not but that would be in a similar spirit. This may be compatible with prison abolition. Really though this quote is too specific though.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., fought for the equal dignity of every human life. “If we are to have peace on earth,” he wrote, “we must be concerned about … the sacredness of all human life.
Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff in the Roe v. Wade
...
Now, Norma is completely pro-life and works to end abortion.
“Amen, I say to you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”
If God loves children, perhaps we should make more.*
REMEMBER, of these parents you were born; what can you give them for all they gave you?
—Sir 7:28
What parents did, give you life, is so good that you should ask yourself what can you give to them. Life is a gift.*
Some fathers are now beginning to claim the same kind of “right” to walk away from their parental responsibilities as mothers are able to do by abortion. They ask, if we can’t force the mother to be a mother, why should we force the father to be a father?
The bitter fruits of Roe v. Wade continue to unfold.
I think this is what MRAs call paper abortion. While child support should be banned, calling it paper abortion seems wrong and not opposing actual abortion is bad.
Lord, thank You for the gift of fertility.
THIS is how we know what love is: He laid down His life for us.
—1 Jn 3:16
...
Love says, “I sacrifice myself for the good of the other person.” Abortion says, “I sacrifice the other person for the good of myself.”
DO not show partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike.
—Deut 1:17
REFLECTION. Some say an embryo is too small to have human rights. But rights do not depend on size.
Do men have more rights than women because they are generally larger?
*
WHOEVER addresses his brother in an insulting way will answer for it before the Sanhedrin, and whoever calls his brother a fool will be liable to the fires of Gehenna.
—Mt 5:22
Jesus says that using dehumanizing language is sinful...It also happens to the unborn, who have been called “parasites,” “tissue,” and “medical waste.”
WORDS cannot escape the reality of things: procured abortion is the direct and deliberate killing of a human being.
—The Gospel of Life, 58
If God made you in the womb, then God wanted you to be born. Why else would he go to the trouble then? Then again why are there miscarriages?
TRUE “compassion” brings one to share the suffering of the other, not to eliminate the one whose suffering he cannot tolerate.
—The Gospel of Life, 66
BLESSED are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
—Mt 5:4
REFLECTION. We are blessed, indeed, if we mourn over our sins and over the evils in the world, like the daily killing of children by abortion.
IF we endure, we shall also reign with Him.
—2 Tim 2:12
St. Joseph is a model for all fathers in his example of faithfulness and protection of his family.
He's a saint so yeah I guess we should be like him.
Let us remember this Lent that Jesus endured His Passion for every unborn child in the womb. He endured every pain that the unborn might be saved as well as the born.
I guess that because he supported everlasting life we can also see he would support life in other ways. Or maybe it's due to his knowledge of the verses against abortion.
WHOEVER receives one such child in My name receives Me.
—Mt 18:5
*
BEFORE I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.
—Jer 1:5
The command “Love your neighbor” does not have distinctions, limitations, or exclusions. It includes our unborn neighbors.
Luke’s Gospel uses the word “baby” or “child” (Gr. brephos) to describe John the Baptist prior to his birth. But one chapter later (2:12,16), the already born Christ child is also referred to as a “baby” (brephos).
I guess it's also important to know that John leaped in the womb in chapter 1.*
GOD is faithful, and He will not allow you to be tried beyond your strength. But together with the trial He will also provide a way out and the strength to bear it.
—1 Cor 10:13
SOME scribes who were Pharisees noticed that Jesus was eating with sinners and tax collectors, and they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
—Mk 2:16
Jesus would eat with abortionists.
TAKE care that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that their Angels in heaven gaze continually on the face of My heavenly Father.
—Mt 18:10
I guess we should be like angels.
REFUSING to participate in doing wrong is not only a moral duty but a fundamental human right.
—The Gospel of Life, 74
REFLECTION. One of the key battlegrounds in the fight for life is to defend the freedom of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, judges and other professionals to refuse to violate their conscience as they carry out their work.
The early feminist leader Susan B. Anthony said, “Abortion is child murder.”
*
AND while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
—Gen 4:8
REFLECTION. The first murder in history was within the immediate family, brother killing brother.
"Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous."*
The early feminist leader Eliza-beth Cady Stanton said, “When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit.”
Cardinal Meisner of Germany compared the slaughter of tens of millions of unborn children by abortion to the genocide campaigns conducted by Hitler and Stalin.
THE blind man said to Him, “Rabbi, let me receive my sight.”
—Mk 10:51
REFLECTION. People change when they see abortion. One wrote, “I was horrified by the gallery of photos of those tiny innocents—murdered, but I’m glad to have seen them. No one can truly form an opinion on abortion without seeing the horror.
