Choosing to be unconditionally pro-life

Claim

This situation, with its lights and shadows, ought to make us all fully aware that we are facing an enormous and dramatic clash between good and evil, death and life, the "culture of death" and the "culture of life". We find ourselves not only "faced with" but necessarily "in the midst of" this conflict: we are all involved and we all share in it, with the inescapable responsibility of choosing to be unconditionally pro-life. (Papal Encyclical, Evangelium Vitae, 25 March 1995).

Counter-claim

Choosing to be unconditionally pro-life is not an important problem; it distracts from pressing issues like poverty, education, and healthcare. Focusing solely on the unborn ignores the complexities of women's rights and the realities of life after birth. Instead of imposing rigid beliefs, we should prioritize compassion and support for families, ensuring that every child has a chance at a fulfilling life. Let's address the real challenges facing society rather than fixating on a singular ideological stance.
