The Sanctity of Life

Human Rights Begin in the Womb

1. The Scientific Fact

The humanity of the unborn child is a biological fact. At the moment of conception, a new, unique human DNA serves as the blueprint for development. The heart begins to beat at 21 days. Brain waves are detectable at 6 weeks. It is human. It is alive.

Know the pro-life case well enough to make it out loud

The embryology on this page is the easy half. The hard half is answering the rape case, the fetal-anomaly case and the bodily-autonomy argument without losing your temper or the other person.

2. "Thou Shalt Not Kill"

The Church teaches that direct abortion is a grave sin because it is the taking of an innocent human life. It is contrary to the natural law written on every human heart. We must love both the mother and the child.

Learn what the Church actually teaches about killing the innocent, and why

"Thou shalt not kill" is the beginning of the argument rather than the whole of it, and the Catholic case rests on natural law, on the Fifth Commandment and on the consistent witness of the Church from the Didache onward. Catholic/Christian Pro carries in-depth Bible studies on the Fifth Commandment and the Gospel of Life, audio devotionals on conscience and the dignity of the person, guided prayers for expectant mothers, and offline access so it works on a phone anywhere. $49 once, lifetime access, no subscription.

3. Forgiveness

For those who have had abortions, the Church does not condemn you; she runs to you with mercy. "Project Rachel" is a ministry dedicated to healing post-abortive women and men. God's mercy is bigger than any mistake.

After mercy comes the daily practice. Here is material for it.

If you have had an abortion, take the free things first: confession costs nothing, Project Rachel costs nothing, and your parish will not charge you to walk in. Nothing here is a condition of God's mercy. Catholic/Christian Pro is study material and audio for the road afterwards: guided prayers for healing and for grief, audio devotionals on the mercy of God in Luke 15 and the Psalms, in-depth Bible studies on the sanctity of life and on the sacrament of Confession, worship playlists and full offline access. $49 one-time, lifetime access, no subscription and no renewal. Start today.

Get Pro for $49 One-time payment. Lifetime access. 30-day money-back guarantee. Pro buys audio and study material. Grace is God's free gift and no purchase touches it.
