Every human life is a gift from God and is created in the image and likeness of God. Therefore, human life is sacred and must be protected at all stages, from fertilization to natural death. Every human life is also worthy of dignity and respect. We are particularly responsible to protect the life and dignity of the most vulnerable in our society – the unborn, disabled and elderly.  

We support efforts to protect the lives of the unborn and oppose efforts to end the lives of the disabled and elderly. Each human life must also be protected and respected in scientific research. We oppose research that requires the destruction of a human embryo or that clones a human embryo.
