Standing up for life is a duty of Catholics, as has recently been clearly stated by the Vatican as well a number of bishops in the US, including Archbishop Hughes of New Orleans. Not standing up for life has led and will continue to lead to a blurring of the worth of humans, who we believe are created in the image of God.
Zenit recently ran an article that discusses some of the tendencies in the invitro fertilization industry...as fetuses are stockpiled, they are in some ways becoming commodities. A lot of what goes on blurrs the line between human and product, parent and child. Tje entire article can be read here:

A place for more information on how to stand up for this is the National Right to Life website. There is political news, where to write people, breaking issues and other information to be found there.
