"Laws that place unborn children outside the protection of law destroy both the children killed and the common good, which is the controlling principle of Catholic social teaching." Francis Cardinal George

A just economic model based on the market must place that market at the service of the person, the family and the common good and expand participation. This position has evoked some of the most rancorous responses. That's because it's pie in the sky, dear. But aside from the foray into economic goofballery, this is a very good article. Without the right to life, there are no rights, only privileges granted to the weaker by the stronger, for as long as it suits them.

Without acknowledging the preeminent right to life, all derivative rights and the entire infrastructure of human rights is placed in jeopardy.
Truly good governance begins with the smallest governance, the family and must follow a principle of subsidiarity. We were made for one another and we find our human fulfillment only in giving ourselves to the other. And another principle, a principle of social charity called solidarity, insists that we are our brothers (and sisters) keeper, Family is the staring point, not the individual.
Without life, you have no society to advance your social gospel toward. So if you advocate Abortion-Rights, move to Mars and no one there will disagree with you./sarc?
