As Catholics, we rightly spend a great deal of time defending unborn life. We attend March for Life events, support pregnancy centres, pray outside abortion clinics, write to MPs and speak publicly about the dignity of every human person from conception until natural death. And in a culture that increasingly treats human worth as conditional on output, this public witness matters enormously.

But every so often I find myself asking an uncomfortable question: what does it actually look like to build a culture of life? Not simply to argue for life, nor merely to vote for life, but to truly embody it.
