June. 27 (DP.net).─ The Catholic Church, other Christian denominations and some other religions campaign to ban abortion on moral grounds or to limit the conditions required for it to be allowed. Their moral and political position on this issue is known as "Pro Life".
Among the most firm opponents to the leniency of present abortion laws in the United States is the non-for-profit organization known as Priests for Life, who openly oppose abortion and euthanasia. They work in tandem with several other organizations, such as Deacons for Life, Silent No More Awareness Campaign, African-American Outreach, Life on the Line, etc.
One of the most recent actions was to send a letter dated June 18, 2013, to Nancy Pelosi, former House Speaker and present Minority Leader. This letter was prompted by a question asked to Ms. Pelosi during a press briefing on June 13. They asked her: "What is the moral difference between what Dr. Gosnell did to a baby born alive at 23 weeks and aborting her moments before birth?"
Priests for Life argue in this letter that she did not answer the question but «resorted to judgmental ad hominem attacks on the reporter who asked it, saying, "You obviously have an agenda. You're not interested in having an answer."»
