In the great civil rights struggle to secure the right to life for all, Archbishop John Roach, testifying on behalf of the Catholic Bishops, expressed the guiding vision:
"We are committed to full legal recognition of the right to life of the unborn child, and will not rest in our efforts until society respects the inherent worth and dignity of every member of the human race."
-November 5, 1981 Statement before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution
The National Committee for a Human Life Amendment is dedicated to pursuing this vision. The organization's objectives include:
- Educating citizens
- Developing pro-life legislative networks
- Offering programs in support of pro-life legislation
Among its various activities, NCHLA also produces educational and program resources, communicates with leaders about legislative priorities, and presents legislative seminars throughout the year. In a special way, NCHLA assists dioceses, state Catholic conferences, and Catholic lay groups. The Committee also works closely with the Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The National Committee for a Human Life Amendment is an independent non-profit lobbying organization, and accepts contributions from Americans who support our mission and objectives. Please take a moment to make a contribution here.
