Denver Archbishop Charles J. Chaput said Bishop Yanta and the Diocese of Amarillo "are offering a vital service to Catholics throughout the United States" by supporting the society.
Bishop Thomas J. Olmstead of Phoenix praised Priests for Life for "standing strong" and for offering "persuasive reasons for respecting the dignity of each person, especially the most vulnerable and innocent among us."
