“Abortion....cannot be a human right—it is the very opposite. It is a ‘deep wound in society’.” —Pope Benedict XVI, Meeting With the Authorities and the Diplomatic Corps, Hofberg, Vienna, 7 September,2007.
Every individual, precisely by reason of the mystery of the Word of God who was made flesh (cf.Jn 1:14), is entrusted to the material care of the Church. Therefore every threat to human dignity and life must necessarily be felt in the Church’s very heart; it cannot but affect her at the core of her faith in the Redemptive Incarnation of the Son of God, and engage her in her mission of proclaiming the Gospel of life in all the world and to every creature (cf.Mk 16:15)

“That special power of loving that belongs to a woman is seen most clearly when she becomes a mother. Motherhood is the gift of God to women. How grateful we must be to God for this wonderful gift that brings such joy to the whole world, women and men alike! Yet we can destroy this gift of motherhood, especially by the evil of abortion, but also by thinking that other things like jobs or positions are more important than loving, than giving oneself to others. No job, no plans, no possessions, no idea of freedom can take the place of love. So anything that destroys God’s gift of motherhood destroys His most precious gift to women— the ability to love as a women.”
