Human life is a sacred thing that should be glorified and held in highest reverence, but in today's society, this is not the case. It is constantly under attack from abortion,
euthanasia, the death penalty, and terrorists and war attacks. The Catholic Church believes that war is wrong and that we can find effective and peaceful ways to resolve conflicts and avoid future arguments. Now, what really bewilders me is abortion. I find the statement, "pro-choice," hypocritical, because to say that they are pro-choice implies that all of the parties involved have a choice, but what about the child? The unknowing fetus doesn't have a choice.
One of my favorite quotes is "Why do we murder those who murder, to show that murder is wrong?" I wish I could say that it was said by some amazing politician, but I honestly have no clue who wrote it. The punishment of the death penalty is just as bad, if not worse, as the crime itself. It is worse because it is seen as a justified act, that some people see it as a good or deserved thing. No one deserves their life to be taken away, no matter what they have done. As Catholics, we believe that every human life is precious and deserves saving.
Sincerely, Sarah
