What Being Pro-Life Really Looks Like (w/ Fr. Mark-Mary Ames)

Ascension Team

"Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception. From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person —among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life." — Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2270

Abortion has been a widely debated issue in the United States and throughout the world. Yet the Catholic Church has always remained clear in her teaching: abortion is a grave moral evil. Even if it doesn't touch our daily lives directly, the reality is staggering. More than 200,000 abortions take place every single day worldwide. Fr. Mark-Mary reminds us of the profound gravity of this evil and calls us, as Christians, to recognize our responsibility to defend the lives of these innocent children.

This year Fr. Mark-Mary offers three powerful and concrete challenges that will positively affect your life and the lives of those around you:

  1. Pray at an abortion clinic at least once in 2026.
  2. Make an ongoing and reasonable sacrifice for those considering or affected by abortion.
  3. Find out which companies support abortion, including those that fund or facilitate out-of-state abortion travel, and consider stopping your support for them. Ending the evil of abortion requires prayer, sacrifice, and courageous action rooted in love. Each of us is called to do our part. Will you take this next step with us?
