Beyond Pro-life, Fighting the Whole Cultural War

In the Cultural War, the fight over abortion is one of the fronts where the battle rages most fiercely...[Yet] the grave moral crises that cause abortion must be addressed. Abortion takes place because of promiscuity, immorality, a contraceptive mentality and the breakdown of the family. Just closing down all the clinics will not provide a definitive solution to these causes of abortion.
. . .
All these issues force us to go “beyond pro-life.” And the first way to do this is to go beyond the vague notion of “life” as our unifying principle.
. . .
We must find another banner that can unify us in the pro-life struggle and still encompass the whole Cultural War. By defining our enemies’ unifying principle, we can define our own.
. . .
[And] their unifying principle is this “freedom” which is actually a revolt against moral law ranging from a mild irritation to a rabid fanaticism.

Thus, our unifying principle should explicitly and proudly declare that in opposing abortion we are defending true freedom, which is guided by the moral law based on divine and natural law. Thus, our unifying principle is the defense of moral law.
