RICHARD JOHN NEUHAUS, 1936-2009

Human Life Review, Fall 2008

"The journey has been long, and there are miles and miles to go. But from this convention the word is carried to every neighborhood, every house of worship, every congressional office, every state house, every precinct of this our beloved country-from this convention the word is carried that, until every human being created in the image and likeness of God - no matter how small or how weak, no matter how old or how burdensome - until every human being created in the image and likeness of God is protected in law and cared for in life, we shall not weary, we shall not rest. And, in this the great human rights struggle of our time and all times, we shall overcome."

-RJN, closing address, 2008 Annual Convention of the National Right to Life Committee, held in Arlington, Virginia.
