What is the culture of life or the pro-life movement?
From a Catholic perspective, the Culture of Life embodies the Catholic Church’s teachings with respect to the inherent dignity of life and its logical consequences. Jesus echoes these sentiments in John 10:10. Although most see these implications with respect to abortion, it also has implications on other issues such as the death penalty, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, and suicide. By extension, it also places dignity on one’s sexuality and hence has implications to God’s call to holiness within marriage, family, and the conjugal act.
