Social
Justice Highlight
Adoption and the Pro-Life Movement
The pro-life movement is one of the strongest, most well-known
social justice movements in the Catholic community. Thousands of
people come to Washington, D.C. each year for the March for Life,
and pro-life groups are active in Catholic dioceses throughout the
country. Many of you are likely to be familiar with these issues.
In the context of pro-life activities, have you ever considered
promoting or supporting adoption and foster care agencies? Seeking
an end to abortion is the central focus of the pro-life movement,
and rightly so. Promoting adoption is another way to be a pro-life
activist.
