From the beginning, the Knights of Columbus have been proud to follow the teaching of our Church in proclaiming the sanctity of human life from natural conception through natural death:

• "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you." (Jer 1:5)
• "Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable." (Catechism #2271)
• "Whatever its motives and means, direct euthanasia consists in putting an end to the lives of handicapped, sick, or dying persons. It is morally unacceptable." (Catechism #2277)
