Consistent life ethic (CLE) is a philosophy that maintains that, in order to be truly pro-life, one must also oppose assisted suicide, euthanasia, capital punishment and war in addition to being against abortion. Many advocates of this philosophy are left-leaning Christians, with a particularly notable following among Catholics, but it is also found among non-religious people and across the political spectrum.
Notable advocates
- Daniel Berrigan (1921-2016) - Christian pacifist
- Ron Sider (1939-2022) - theologian and social activist
- Frank Pavone (born 1959) - former Roman Catholic priest and pro-life activist
- Destiny Herndon-De La Rosa (born 1983) - founder of New Wave Feminists
