A full banquet hall listened to Father Pavone as he discussed many facets of the pro-life issue, from statistics on abortion to the affects of the "culture of death." He explained how the same justification was used for slavery and the holocaust as is used today for abortion and euthenasia - that some are less than human and not worthy of life. He pointed out that our constitution cites the Creator as the One endowing humans with the right to life, not the government, and that it is the responsibility of government to secure those rights.

Another topic was "survivors" of Roe v. Wade, those who were "wanted" by their mothers, those born since 1973. But Father Pavone points out that there is a difference between being "wanted" and being "welcomed". Being "wanted" is predicated on the desires and needs of another, while being "welcomed" assumes the baby's own intrinsic worth. The inevitable question is: "Who will be the next unwanted? Will it be the parents of this generation who, as these parents get older, live lives 'less than human' and 'not worth living' in the eyes of their children?"
