Massachusetts, Protect the Unborn: No State Has the Authority to Deny Human Dignity
In today's homily by Fr. Chris Alar, MIC was a courageous and uncompromising call to defend the dignity of every human life.
"Human dignity is not given by the state."
"Humanity is not determined by location—whether a baby is inside or outside the womb—nor by time, whether minutes before or after birth."
"Every human person is created in the image and likeness of God."
These words are not merely a religious opinion—they are a moral challenge to every society that claims to defend human rights.
To the elected leaders of Massachusetts, Michigan, and our nation: laws that fail to protect the most vulnerable fail in their first duty of justice. The measure of a civilization is not how it protects the powerful, but how it protects those who have no voice. The unborn child is not invisible, disposable, or without dignity.
As Fr. Alar reminded us today, Catholics cannot determine what is right simply because civil law permits it. God's law calls us to defend both mother and child, to reject the intentional taking of innocent life, and to build a culture where every human being is welcomed and protected from conception to natural death.
This is not a message of hatred—it is a call to conversion, truth, mercy, and justice. To all who carry the pain of abortion: Christ's mercy is greater than every sin, and His healing is always available to those who repent and seek Him.
We respectfully but firmly call upon our public officials to enact laws that recognize what no government has the authority to deny: every human life possesses an inviolable dignity because it comes from God.
"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." — Matthew 25:40
