Quote of the Week
Posted on July 27, 2006 by Peter Schellhase
“Laws which authorize and promote abortion and euthanasia are radically opposed not only to the good of the individual but also to the common good; as such they are completely lacking in judical validity.”
“A civil law authorizing abortion or euthanasia ceases by that very fact to be a true, morally binding law . . . Abortion and euthanasia are crimes which no human law can claim to legitimize. There is no obligation in conscience to obey such laws; instead there is a grave and clear obligation to oppose them by conscientious objection.”
—Pope John Paul II
(Quoted in Robert George, The Clash of Orthodoxies, p. 131)

I think I need to read his Theology of the Body.
