For Immediate Release Contact: Anthony DeStefano (718) 980-4400 Graphic depictions of abortions have recently appeared in grocery products in stores in Northern New Jersey. In response, Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, today stated: "Phenomena like this occur, and will continue to occur, because the pro-life message is not being given a fair hearing in society. For decades, while tens of millions of children have been destroyed by abortion, pro-lifers have found legitimate channels of communication in media, government, education, and even the churches, closed in their faces. Society must either give the pro-life message a fair hearing in normal channels of communication, or expect to hear it through abnormal channels." The pro-life activities I recommend target normal channels. However, for a person to complain that pamphlets bother children, while not raising a word of complaint that abortion kills children, is a extreme form of hypocrisy."
