"The mere probability
that a human person is involved
would suffice to justify
an absolutely clear prohibition
of any intervention aimed at
killing a human embryo."
Pope John Paul II (Evangelium Vitae)(Léon Bazile Perrault painting US public domain)

Absolutely. Having two children with type one diabetes has impacted on me finding out a lot about embryonic stem cell research. I really wish people did see the embryo as a human. Abortion has made us blind to this reality I think.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how blind we've become, isn't it? May God heal us all. Thank you, Therese.
DeleteAmen. God bless the unborn.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathleen, and amen indeed.

This is why I've never understood the way this debate is so focused on women...women's rights are important, but not as important as the basic one...
ReplyDeleteThat picture is really beautiful. Thank God for Pope JP II and his consistent emphasis on life from the moment of conception to natural death.
ReplyDeleteThank you, friends! I thank God for Pope John Paul II also. I found this particular quote only a few days ago, and knew immediately that it needed to be shared.
ReplyDeleteGod was once unborn. His being unborn gives it a dignity and sanctity beyond mere animal tissue.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful perspective, Joann.. thank you for sharing it.
DeleteThank you Nancy. I love this quote and the truth of it. I am going to post it as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks.. I'm now headed over to your blog!
