...boundaries of human existence. We believe in the sanctity of unborn human life and reject abortion as a means of birth control and gender selection. We also respect the sacredness of the mother's life. Whenever the unborn immediately threatens her life, abortion may be justified. We call upon the Church to provide nurturing ministries to those who have been affected by crisis pregnancies and abortion as well as to those who have given birth.
