Europe's 'One of Us' Pro-Life Campaign Seeks to Establish Life at Conception
Pro-life groups from 20 different countries throughout Europe have recently launched a petition which requests the European Parliament to recognize that life begins at conception.
The movement, called "One of Us," is comprised of primarily independent anti-abortion Roman Catholic groups which are seeking to gain one million signatures in seven of 27 countries in the European Union by Nov. 2013.
Should the petition gain one million signatures by that time, the European Parliament will be forced to schedule a debate on the issue of life at conception.
The "One of Us" website describes the petition as having "greater political potential than any other initiative that has been undertaken so far to protect the dignity of the person and life from conception at a European scale."
"If a consensus will be achieved among one million citizens or more, a concrete ethical standard could be established across Europe with regards to the respect of the dignity of each member of the human family, no matter how young it is," the petition's initiative reads.
