Statement on Non-Violence

From its inception, the Priests for Life Association, in union with the teaching of the Catholic Church, has unambiguously, publicly, and repeatedly rejected violence as a solution to the abortion problem.

Inflicting harm on persons or property is not an acceptable way of resolving this problem or proclaiming our message. The lives we are called to respect include the lives of those who disagree with us and oppose us.

No person who carries out, intends to carry out, or justifies in theory such acts of violence has any part in our organization or our efforts. We furthermore pledge to advance a climate of understanding and non-violence.
