Catholic Bishop Condemns Abortions: “Every Abortion Takes a Human Life”

Catholic Archbishop Alexander K. Sample of Portland has once again condemned Oregon’s “Abortion Provider Appreciation Day,” calling it a moral tragedy and a profound sign of spiritual blindness in a message revisiting his pastoral teaching on the sanctity of human life.

The archbishop’s statement comes on the anniversary of Gov. Tina Kotek’s proclamation designating March 10 as a day to honor abortionists who kill babies, a move that has drawn repeated criticism from pro-life leaders.
