"[W]e are facing an enormous and dramatic clash between good and evil, death and life, the “culture of death” and the “culture of life”. ... [W]e are all involved and we all share in it, with the inescapable responsibility of choosing to be unconditionally pro-life.”   ~ Pope John Paul II Evangelium Vitae 28
