The Respect for Life Department considers issues affecting the inherent value and dignity of human life at all stages. It considers issues affecting pre-born human life, individuals approaching the end of their lives or incapable of making medical decisions for themselves, and individuals accused or convicted of capital crimes.

The Department works in conjunction with the Social Concerns Department on issues affecting pregnant women in need.
