STATEMENT OF THE CATHOLIC BISHOPS’ CONFERENCE LIBERIA (CABICOL) ON THE PUBLIC HEALTH BILL ON ABORTION
The attention of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Liberia (CABICOL) has been drawn to a statement issued by the Inter-Religious Council of Liberia, endorsing and requesting the passage of the New Public Health Bill of Liberia in its entirety.
While the Catholic Church shared some important values like justice, peace, i reconciliation, human dignity, etc with our Brothers and Sisters of other faiths, we want to categorically state that we are not in agreement with the Inter Religious Council in endorsing and requesting the passage of the New Public Health Bill of Liberia in its entirety.
Let it be recalled that on the 29th Day of August 2023, we issued a statement in which we called on the National Legislature to reconsider PART X, HEALTH AND RELATED RIGHTS 49. SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH of this bill.
In line with the dictate of Divine Mandate (THOU SHALL NOT KILL, EXODUS 20:13), in line with the Teaching of the Catechism of the Catholic Church which states that every human life, from the moment of conception until death, is sacred because the human person has been willed for its own sake in the image and likeness of the living and holy God (CIC 2319), we once more unequivocally reject the concept of iustified abortion as contained in the New Public Health Bill.
We call on all our Catholic Health Institutions, and all men and women of goodwill, to respect life, from the moment of conception to its natural end.
