"Today’s March for Life focuses on the
tragic issue of abortion, but of course abortion emerges from other
moral choices and attitudes that are sinful.
"One common 'moral' standard that many
apply today, especially regarding sexual matters, goes something like
this: 'Two consenting adults should be able do what they please as long
as nobody gets hurt.' Of course the sinners who talk like this think
that they get to determine whether anyone gets hurt. Generally,
their notions are egocentric, mostly considering only themselves, and
in addition their conception of what constitutes getting hurt are often
misguided.
"Today, I marched with many who tried to give a voice to the at least 50 million who didn't just get hurt by the behavior of certain 'consenting adults' - they got killed."
In a recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish,
Washington, DC) reflected on his reasons for participating in this year's National March for Life, which was held on Friday (19 January).
