Who is the patron saint of the pro-life movement?

Our Lady of Guadalupe is one of many pro-life patrons, along with St. Gianna Molla, St. Gerard Majella, St. Maximilian Kolbe, and many others.

As the mother of Our Lord, the Blessed Virgin is an ideal patroness of the pro-life movement. Her Fiat (saying “yes” to God) at the Annunciation is the perfect example for mothers of unborn babies.

Out of all of the Marian apparitions, Our Lady of Guadalupe is a special pro-life patron because she is shown to be pregnant. The sash around her waist is a symbol that indicated pregnancy in the culture of that place.

Is Our Lady of Guadalupe a painting?

No, the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe was not created by any human hand, or according to any process of painting or staining or printing known either then or today. Nor does the cloth contain any artifacts of any process, such as paint. Scientifically, it is inexplicable.
