Organizations that offer pro-life aid for women facing difficult pregnancies stressed that there are both resources and tools available for mothers in need.
The Sisters of Life "invite the women to come and live with us," Sister Johanna, Superior of the Holy Respite in Manhattan, told CNA.
In addition to the religious vows of chastity, poverty and obedience, Sisters of Life take an additional vow to protect and defend the sacredness of human life.
Founded in 1991 by Cardinal John O'Connor of New York, the sisters care for expectant mothers, offer retreats and provide aid to women suffering from a past abortion.
