One of the many lessons from the life of former abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson, who died in February, is the key role of the Church in ending abortion. He said that he and his colleagues who started the abortion rights movement would never have gotten away with what they did if the clergy had been united, purposeful, and strong. He said that he stole the abortion issue from the Church and caught the Church asleep. That’s why, once he became a pro-life advocate, he gave such great support to the ministry of Priests for Life, which he called the Paul Revere in the pro-life movement. He wanted to make sure that the Church was not asleep again about the bioethical challenges of our day. So let us be awake, informed, and vigilant.
