From recent remarks from Mother Agnes Donovan, a former psychology professor at Columbia, who is now superior general of the Sisters of Life religious order:

The orchestrated nationwide legal and legislative attacks upon the activities of pregnancy resource centers (of which you are no doubt aware) are in essence an attack upon hope and joy. Such an attack says that it is useless to believe in the possible nobility of man, in the greatness so often hidden in the heart of a woman. It implies that our young should accommodate themselves to live in little worlds of human invention which make no room for the mystery of God. Rather we say: Let them be encouraged to attempt true love. Every life is a gift; and nothing less than being a gift for another can fulfill one’s identity. It is ours to live true to our deepest identity as gift: Each human person is—a trace of God’s glory. So let us encourage the young, and let each one of us recommit ourselves, to the great life’s work of attempting true love.
