I applaud Sister M. Carol Baetz, RSM, for her opinion article, “Who isn’t pro-life?” She has thoughtfully and honestly explained the essence of what it really means to be pro-life. Far too many Catholics are one-issue, (i.e., abortion) Christians, and Sister clearly demonstrates the compassion needed to be truly pro-life in a broader context. Any pro-life stance should openly embrace issues of social justice, affordable housing, gun control, immigration policy and environmental stewardship that are sacred in protecting one’s life. Sister’s article is a challenge to all Catholics and Church leadership, especially bishops, to advocate the fullness of our faith’s fundamental teachings on the value of life.
