Do you know about the Sisters of Life? They are Catholic women religious — “nuns” — who lay down their lives to serve women and babies and children and families. They take the usual vows nuns take, but they also take a unique one: to protect and defend the sanctity of human life. They embrace women who are pregnant and feeling like all the pressures in their lives are insisting on abortion. They love them. They do not tell them not to have an abortion. Rather, they reflect back to them the beautiful gifts they are and the tremendous love they are capable of.
