Queensland, Australia, Aug 2, 2018 / 11:23 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Archbishop Mark Coleridge of Brisbane, Australia encouraged members of parliament to look beyond the “worn-out ideologies and tricky language” behind a bill to legalization abortion in Queensland.
“When you talk about abortion you’re talking about two lives the mother and the child and both lives matter,” Archbishop Coleridge said, in comments reported by diocesan newspaper The Catholic Leader.
“To speak of a woman’s rights is important, but what of the rights of unborn children, or do they have no real human status?”
The archbishop responded to a Queensland proposal that would legalize abortion
