Stephen Spiro (1939–2007) was a political activist known for his opposition against the Vietnam War and his advocacy of an ideology that opposes abortion, capital punishment, assisted suicide, and euthanasia.
[3][4] His case was championed by the newly formed Catholic Peace Fellowship; Daniel Berrigan, Tom Cornell, and Thomas Merton all lobbied on his behalf.
The sincerity of his beliefs were recognized, as he received a five-year suspended sentence for his actions, and he was later pardoned by President Gerald Ford.
This argument states that the right to life leads to opposition to abortion, capital punishment and war as a single consistent moral position.
He would often bring anti-war signs to anti-abortion rallies (and vice versa), sparking arguments with his fellow protesters.
