Abortion
This is a concise yet comprehensive review of the teaching of the Catholic Church on abortion. Alvare, the Director of Planning and Information, Pro-Life Secretariat (N.C.C.B.), clarifies misconceptions about the position of the Church and answers commonly asked questions about the Church's stand on abortion. She concludes, "A Catholic pro-life stance is never a mere 'no'. It is never merely 'anti-abortion'. It is always a way of life, a way of freedom. A life lived in awe of God's creative power. And a life of responding to this great gift with respect and love."
