Do you have a picture of your beautiful child you would like to see posted on St. Luke's Respect for Life Page or do you know of a quote that would help educate people on the subject of abortion.  Please submit it to the webmaster at [email protected].  (Photos and quotes subject to editing as necessary.)

By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems. And, by abortion, that father is told that he does not have to take any responsibility at all for the child he has brought into the world. The father is likely to put other women into the same trouble. So abortion just leads to more abortion. Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.
