Catholic Answers Live - Why Are You Pro Choice?

What do Catholics believe about abortion and euthanasia? Trent Horn explains.

Questions Covered:

• 10:49 - It feels like pro-life people are up against too much and are barely effecting change. The marches are good, the prayer is good, but how can we be encouraged that we are doing anything? 
• 14:28 - How can a pro-life person answer when asked why abortion is still not okay in cases of rape and incest? 
• 19:45 - My friend says that we shouldn’t limit rights on a woman’s body now because it might cause the government to have more control over our bodies later. How can I respond to her about that?  
• 23:38 - Pro-lifers say that the Democrats are pro-abortion, but Republicans haven’t done anything for life. Why is that? 
• 31:57 - What scientific evidence does the catechism offer for human life beginning at conception? 
• 34:20 - Why don’t pro-life Catholics take a stand in a non-political way? At Christmas, we could donate money to pregnancy crisis centers instead of buying gifts for adults in our lives. 
• 40:56 - How can we say aborting a baby is wrong when you said we don’t know when the soul enters the body? 
• 44:20 - As a public-school teacher, how can I be pro-life in my classroom? 
• 48:57 - Is it true that when Roe v. Wade was passed, there was a provision made that if life could be proved to begin at conception, it would be overturned? 
• 51:03 - My brother and I are elderly and are worried about end-of-life care and euthanasia. What is the Church doing to work to help Catholics who want ethical care at the end of their lives?
