RIO NEGRO, Argentina, July 17, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Catholic Bishops of Rio Negro have reaffirmed the value of human life "from conception until natural death" in response to proposed "worthy death" bills, Fides News Agency reports. Provincial authorities of Rio Negro are deciding whether or not to allow terminally ill patients to make a statement refusing medical treatment, Spanish-language Adnmundo.com reports. In response, the Catholic Bishops of Rio Negro have issued a statement, clarifying and reaffirming the Church's teaching on end of life care.
In the statement, the Bishops affirm that the Church has always been against "medical intervention not suited to the condition of the patient". This refers to disproportionate methods of keeping the patient alive, but does not include the basic and necessary requirements of human life such as feeding and hydration.

AMARILLO, Texas, July 18 /Christian Newswire/ -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, today commented on this week's abortion protests conducted in Wichita, Kansas, by Operation Rescue and in Birmingham, Alabama, by Operation Rescue/Operation Save America.
"The crowds who stand peacefully for our nation's most helpless and vulnerable in Wichita and Birmingham are showing true Christian love for their brothers and sisters," said Fr. Pavone. "I am always proud to stand with them. We cannot just wish abortion away in our minds. We have to come to the places where the children are being killed and demand it to stop. Firefighters don't sit around the fire house and pray for an end to fires. They go where the fire is, to save lives."
