Sarah Newman, specialist in values-based investing at Innovest: “There’s a consortium that we at Innovest are a part of. And last year the consortium challenged Costco to not distribute Mifepristone in their 500 pharmacies across the country. There was a lot of success there.”

Dr. Matthew Bunson, EWTN News: “For Sheen, he had the ability to communicate the love he had for the faith. But he never watered it down. He is so beautifully orthodox in what he says. He told great stories, he told jokes. But there was always a purpose for it.”

Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT): “Once you’re pro-life, you're always pro-life. Pro-life for me is not a political issue. This is just who I am, what I believe and who I believe in. We'll stay engaged.”

Although Liechtensteinʼs parliament approved an initiative to allow elective abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy by a vote of 13-12 last week, the law has not yet taken effect, as Hereditary Prince Alois previously announced his veto. “It gives one pause to consider that, on the one hand, women are seeking inpatient obstetric care in neighboring countries to give birth to their children, while on the other hand, we are currently discussing the creation of conditions for terminating pregnancies within our own country,” said Bishop Benno Elbs, apostolic administrator of the Archdiocese of Vaduz, in a statement dated Aug. 21. “It seems to me that something has become unbalanced here.” The principality has not had its own maternity ward for several years. “The Churchʼs concern is directed in particular toward all people in vulnerable life situations: unborn children and their parents, people with disabilities, refugees, as well as the elderly and the sick. They all depend in a special way on care, guidance, and concrete support,” Elbs wrote. The initiative, titled “Fristenlösung für Liechtenstein” (“term-based solution for Liechtenstein”), calls for the legalization of elective abortion during the first 12 weeks, the lifting of a ban on doctors providing information about abortion services, and the transfer of costs to health insurance providers. Under Sections 96–98a of the criminal code, abortion is prohibited, with exceptions for cases of rape or serious danger to the life or health of the pregnant woman. Since 2015, women who travel abroad for an abortion have not been subject to criminal prosecution. At the end of July, the initiative committee submitted 4,970 signatures; 1,000 would have been required. Nearly a quarter of all eligible voters in the principality backed the initiative. “Criminalization and the ban on providing information make it considerably more difficult to make an informed and self-determined decision,” the committeeʼs website states. There are no official statistics on abortions in Liechtenstein. Read more at EWTNNews.com
