"Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law" (No. 2271).
As Catholics, we have a moral obligation to support and fight for the protection of all human life, from the moment of conception to natural death.
