Pray!

Catholic dogma, along with the Bible, agree that taking the life of a child in the womb is evil. God gives life, and only God can take it. And it is a human life even in the womb:

"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you..." [Jeremiah 1:5]

"For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb." [Psalm 139:13]

"When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit...[saying] 'As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.'" [Luke 1:41, 44 NIV]

Since we know God's will in this, we must pray constantly that all laws that support, promote, and enable abortion be overturned. And lest we get frustrated or begin to lose hope, remember:

"With God, all things are possible." [Mark 10:27]

"I can do all things in him who strengthens me." [Philippians 4:13]
