We can't love our neighbor if we don't know them. And once we are proximate, love requires us to take action, to stand up for life in tangible ways."-Shane Claiborne, Rethinking Life: Embracing the Sacredness of Every Person

"To have a consistent ethic of life is to be comprehensive in our advocacy for life and to refuse to think of issues in isolation from each other. It is a fundamental conviction that every person is sacred and made in the image of God. It requires pursuing whatever allows people to flourish and fighting everything that crushes life. That means that all these difficult issues -- the military, guns, racism, the death penalty, poverty, and abortion -- are connected, and we need a moral framework that integrates them. That's what it means to be pro-life for the whole life."-Shane Claiborne, Rethinking Life: Embracing the Sacredness of Every Person
