God is the author of life

From Allan Sauls, Johannesburg:

Morality dialogue is being called for, especially at a political level. Having partaken in the culture of life campaign of Johannesburg archdiocese, I had time to reflect on morality.

The South African Constitution of 1996 guarantees the right to life in Section 11. During his homily at Holy Mass prior to the culture of life campaign procession to Constitutional Hill in March, Archbishop Buti Tlhagale reminded Johannesburg Catholics that “God is the author of life”.

Many Catholics have ex-pressed deep concern for the lack of morality inherent in the current Termination of Pregnancy Act as promulgated by our parliament.

I wonder if many non-Catholics would also find it in their hearts to respect and accept the dialogue result?
