As a Catholic and a Religious Sister, I am unequivocally pro-life. I support all lawful, official and economic means that will help end this national tragedy. But more needs to be done to expand the dialog and to assist in the education of Catholics about the common good. One way is to make our vote count. As a nation in order to truly uphold the value of life, we need to work at ways to reduce abortions and pay attention to the economic reasons that remains core to abortion. It is imperative we not just say we value life with mere words but with viable actions.
