Our Common Humanity – Statement by the Irish Bishops Choose life

The child in the womb has life and potential. However, like all babies, before birth or in the early years, she or he has no choice. Powerless to defend themselves they rely on the rest of us to protect their lives and vindicate their rights. By using the word ‘choice’ we need to remember that, for the baby waiting to be born, the choice we make can be a matter of life or death. [to be continued …copies of full statement are in the Church]. Be part of the WORLD MEETING OF FAMILIES in Dublin from Tue 21st to Sun 26th August 2018. Tue is Opening Day in the parishes.
