Purpose

CBR operates on the principle that abortion represents an evil so inexpressible that words fail us when attempting to describe its horror. Until abortion is seen, it will never be understood. CBR also publishes educational resources and conducts seminars to establish the humanity of the preborn and the inhumanity of abortion.
