STATEN ISLAND, NY, Sept. 2 /Christian Newswire/ -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, commented today on the pending Montana Supreme Court case that could establish a so called state constitutional right to assisted suicide.
"Assisted suicide is an act that violates the victim's dignity," said Fr. Pavone. "It is a declaration that a person's life is worthless and devoid of respect. If the Montana constitution states that the dignity of every human is inviolable, then there can be no room in that constitution for the protection of a fabricated 'right' that threatens the very existence of the disabled and medically vulnerable."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.
He is exactly right.

My prayers are with Fr. Pavone who works continuously FOR LIFE.
“It is a declaration that a person’s life is worthless and devoid of respect.”
It is a slippery slope (Duh!!). I believe that there are lives that are worthless and not deserving respect. Included are the soulless bastards that rape and murder children, serial killers, etc. It’s a short hop from “Everybody deserves the right to live.” to doing away with the death penalty for those who truly deserve to die!
That’s not moral relativity, that’s justice!
