A video has been circulating recently that has caught the eye of many. It’s a video of famous Italian singer Andrea Bocelli telling a story of a woman who ignores doctors’ advice to abort her child because of suspected disabilities. The child was Andrea Bocelli. Bocelli praises his mother for choosing life.
But, in an Italian newspaper article, Bocelli goes even further to clarify his message about the pro-life cause.
“Because of my personal convictions as a devout Catholic, I am not only fighting against something, I am fighting for something – and I am for life,” he told the Italian newspaper, Il Foglio.
Bocelli said he wants his video “to help comfort those who are in difficult situations and who sometimes just need to feel that they are not alone. Life is hard, but we need to listen, we need to open our ears” to embrace them.
To be pro-life does mean being against abortion, but it also means being for so many other things that grant dignity, respect, and concern for each and every human being, from conception to natural death. It’s the movement of yes’, not just no’s.
