“Abortion […] cannot be a human right – it is the very opposite. It is ‘a deep wound in society’.” —Pope Benedict XVI, Meeting With the Authorities and the Diplomatic Corps, Hofberg, Vienna, 7 September 2007 “Our witness to life must address the pain and grieving experienced by those who have lost a child. Just as we recognize the humanity of the unborn child lost to abortion, we must acknowledge equally the unborn child lost to miscarriage. … As members of the body of Christ, the Church, we are called to bear witness to the loss of every life, no matter how brief or small.” — “Life Issues Forum: Loving Parents After Miscarriage,” (USCCB)
