Consistent life ethic
The consistent life ethic is also known as the consistent ethic of life. It opposes abortion, capital punishment, assisted suicide, euthanasia, and war.[1] Some people who follow this are only opposed to unjust war, and some are full pacifists. The term was made popular in 1983 by Joseph Bernardin, a Catholic Cardinal. The ideology is based on all life being important, and that it should be protected by law.[2]
