"Every innocent human being is absolutely equal to all others.  This equality is the basis of all authentic social relationships which, to be truly such, can only be founded on truth and justice, recognizing and protecting every man and woman as a person and not as an object to be used.  Before the moral norm which prohibits the direct taking of the life of an innocent human being "there are no privileges or exceptions for anyone.  It makes no difference whether one is the master of the world or the 'poorest of the poor' on the face of the earth.  Before the demands of morality we are all absolutely equal."      -- Pope John Paul II

Natural Family Planning

"The way to plan the family is natural family planning not contraception. In destroying the power of giving life, through contraception, a husband or wife is doing something to self, and so it destroys the gift of life in him or her."   -- Mother Teresa
