Consistent Ethic of Life

The Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Aberdeen, South Dakota, have taken a stand on promoting a Consistent Ethic of Life.

We stand for the dignity of life and the rights of each human person and so we oppose any policy or course of action which diminishes life including:
 capital punishment
 violence as a first response to conflict
 shameful poverty
 abortion
 euthanasia
 lack of access to healthcare
 mistreatment of immigrants
 torture

We realize the complexity of these issues and that each calls for its own specific moral analysis. However, we submit that choices in one area can affect our decisions in other areas and urge others to consider the consequences when making choices that affect this consistent ethic. “The Christian faith is an integral unity, and thus it is incoherent to isolate some particular element to the detriment of the whole of Catholic doctrine” (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, November 24, 2002).

A consistent ethic of life requires that we respect and revere the sanctity of all life in our daily actions, reactions and interactions. It is our belief that our nonviolent actions that reflect a respect for life can lead to a more peaceful, just society.
