Why do we focus on abortion?

While it’s true that abortion isn’t the only issue we tackle in our fight to defend the dignity of human life—euthanasia, IVF, surrogacy, human trafficking, and suicide are also on our radar—the topic of abortion remains, from our perspective, the most urgent.

And why is that? Not only because it claims the largest number of victims—73 million unborn children every year—but also because it deeply affects others in its wake. Parents are left to live with the weight of this decision for a lifetime, and medical professionals, whether by choice or coercion, are drawn into the act of ending the most innocent of lives.

But beyond the staggering numbers, abortion strikes at human life when it is at its most defenseless. The unborn are the most vulnerable among us—voiceless, unable to express their needs, yet no less human. Meanwhile, women seeking genuine help, compassion, and support are often left to navigate this difficult terrain alone, under the guise of “women’s rights.”

Before we can effectively address other threats to human life, like euthanasia, suicide, or human trafficking, we must first grasp the fundamental truth that every human being, no matter their circumstances, has intrinsic worth. If we can foster recognition of this inherent value in the unborn—who can’t be seen, touched, or heard and who certainly can’t speak up for themselves—then the importance of addressing other life issues becomes glaringly obvious.

That’s why we focus on abortion. Yes, there are countless other important issues, but this is the most foundational. Because if we fail to protect life in its most vulnerable state, how can we hope to protect it elsewhere?

Love beyond biology

Adoption – a real option? It should be! Even if parents are unable to take care for their child, they still give them the greatest gift: the gift of life! But how easy or how difficult is an adoption? What are the procedures internationally? And how many children get adopted annually anyway? Spoiler alert: There are many more abortions happening every year…

Life is not a product.

When the Price of Life Raises Ethical Questions: IVF treatment.

Yearning for your own biological child is a very natural wish and easy to relate to. But should we really pursue such a wish at all cost? By manipulating a women’s cycle through a high dosage hormone therapy, by “harvesting” eggs in much higher numbers than naturally possible, by “producing” embryos in a lab, by freezing them – stopping their natural process of development for years or decades – only to unfreeze and “use” them at a more convenient time? How can we keep track of every single person’s dignity and worth? Every life is precious and a gift, it should not be seen as a product to be ordered and designed.

Suicide:

A Permanent Choice in the Silence of Suffering

Life is inherently valuable and sacred, regardless of its challenges or suffering. Suicide violates the principle that human life should be preserved and protected. That is why the continuous growth of numbers in suicide and especially the rise in youth suicide is a concerning topic that we must not overlook in our fight to create a culture of life!

Eliminate the pain, not the patient.

Our society doesn't need euthanasia; it needs genuine compassion, not indifference dressed as kindness.

Euthanasia, the practice of intentionally ending a life to alleviate suffering, has been a contentious issue in Europe for the last decades. Several European countries have moved towards legalizing or regulating euthanasia and assisted dying, always covered by the idea to “respect individual autonomy”. These practices further undermine the sanctity of life and may lead to slippery slopes, where vulnerable groups, such as the elderly or disabled, feel pressure to choose euthanasia.
