Priests for Life Comments on Abortion Graphics in Groceries
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."
