Bioethics Resources

Birth Control

“Culture pushes birth control at us like it’s a no-brainer – the obvious, intelligent choice. Even Christian churches don’t seem to teach much against it: A 2012 Gallup poll found that 82% of Catholics believed birth control was morally acceptable, along with 90% of non-Catholic Christians. Ten years later, birth control had become even more acceptable. A 2022 Gallup poll records that 92% of Americans said birth control was morally acceptable.” Y4Life’s Birth Control infographic explores the reasons behind why men and women choose to use birth control, the types of birth control available, and the considerations men and women should take when deciding whether or not to use birth control. PDF and physical print options available below.

A 4Life View of IFV

Infertility is often difficult for a couple to bear, and Christians are called to respond with compassion to those who are suffering. For this reason, the goal of this infographic is twofold: to share facts that could prevent future suffering and to speak with sensitivity, compassion, and hope about the issues of infertility. PDF and physical print options available below.

Organ Donation

Organ donation and transplants have become increasingly popular medical procedures due to their life-saving potential. Experts say that one person’s organ and tissue donations can save eight lives and improve 75 lives! But at what cost? As with all good gifts, it’s important to view organ donation through the lens of Christianity. A Christian perspective helps us respond to the topic of organ donation and decide whether or not to become a donor. Learn more about organ donation and how to respond with a Gospel-motivated voice in this infographic. PDF and physical print options available below.

On this All Saints’ Day, we celebrate the lives of On this All Saints’ Day, we celebrate the lives of the faithful who have departed from this earth. We give thanks that they knew God the Father’s deep love for them, love so great that He even gave His own Son as a sacrifice to pay for the sins of all people. This is also the message we get to share with the world, so that they too may know the love of God.

God cares for us through our relationships with ot God cares for us through our relationships with others. He wears the mask of a friend when we are in need of comfort, the mask of a teacher when we need help with homework, and the mask of a pastor when He delivers His Word and Sacrament to us. However, sin often isolates us from others. The devil uses this isolation to make us feel alone and unloved. But these thoughts are lies. When we are with others, particularly the people of God, we hear the truth: we are loved by God. We can be certain of this because He created, redeemed, and called us to faith. We are His. This truth is far more powerful than the lies of isolation

As we move through Church Worker Appreciation Mont As we move through Church Worker Appreciation Month, today we thank God for all Directors of Church Ministry (DCM) who not only work to support the faith journey of a church's parishioners but also support the leadership of the congregation. DCMs have a unique position where they get to serve and support God's people and the servants of God in all that they do, through each trial and tribulation. Please pray for God's blessing on the work of all DCMs, that their work would continue to uphold the lives of all God's people in the church.
Life Week 2027 is three months away! We have amazi Life Week 2027 is three months away!

Our speakers' presentations for Sunday through Wednesday will be pre-recorded and posted on the Lutherans For Life and Y4Life YouTube channels. Thursday through Saturday, youth and young adults are invited to join us LIVE in Washington, D.C. for Y4Life and YA For Life in Washington, D.C.!

As we move through Church Worker Appreciation Mont As we move through Church Worker Appreciation Month, today we thank God for all Directors of Family Life Ministry (DFLM) who have the wonderful job of upholding God's gift of family. Family is a gift from God and is a place of comfort and support for each of its members. Unfortunately, families are often attacked by the devil, which is where the work of a DFLM is most important, as they walk alongside families and give them resources they can use to overcome difficulties in faith. Please pray that God would continue to use DFLMs to uphold the gift of families throughout His church!
