As I was reading many of the articles and commentaries from the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I ran across an amazing speech from the late Fr. Richard John Neuhaus that is as relevant today as when it was originally given in June 2008. Fr. Neuhaus was a eloquent and much-esteemed pro-life champion whose words still inspire. He encourages us to remain steadfast in our fight to protect the most vulnerable among us.
"The journey has been long, and there are miles and miles to go. But ... the word is carried to every neighborhood, every house of worship, every congressional office, every state house, every precinct of this our beloved country— ... the word is carried that, until every human being created in the image and likeness of God—no matter how small or how weak, no matter how old or how burdensome—until every human being created in the image and likeness of God is protected in law and cared for in life, we shall not weary, we shall not rest. And, in this the great human rights struggle of our time and all times, we shall overcome."
It is well worth your time to read the remainder of Fr. Neuhaus'
speech.
