Another new year, another chance to set things right, and that means working mightily to stop abortion on demand in America.
We never thought back in January of 1973 that abortion would still be legal thirty-four years later. We thought that if we could only reach the good old God-fearing, people-loving American masses with the truth that abortion is murder, this thing would be over in a few years. We didn’t know how hard it would be to spread the truth in our country, so famous for its free exchange of ideas. Nor did we appreciate at that time how determined the death peddlers would be to promote their culture of death, and how big their lies would be.
Despite all current war on Christmas, over-commercialization of the feast, disagreements that always arise around this major holiday, what it comes down to is that a baby was born two thousand years ago to be mankind’s Savior, and in one way or another the world is so captivated by that birth that it can’t leave it alone.
In an interview with long-time pro-life activist Tim Murphy in the December issue of the Irish American News, Murphy makes a strong point that anyone who votes for a candidate who supports abortion, that voter, no matter how high minded he or she may be, becomes part of the immoral abortion culture that is destroying America.
Incoming Pro-Abortion House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is going to stress her Catholicism and her Italian heritage for all they’re worth before she gets sworn in as the first woman Speaker of the House of Representatives.
On Saturday, Dec. 23, the Pro-Life Action League will visit four abortion facilities in Chicago for our fourth annual “Empty Manger” Christmas Caroling Day. “The Christmas story is a story of hope and joy brought into the world by a newborn baby,” commented League Communications Director Eric Scheidler. “We want abortion-bound mothers to know that their unborn babies are a gift, too.”
The League has saved babies from abortion in past years when their mothers heard the caroling. “One mother told our counselor that hearing ‘Silent Night’ made her think about how Mary said yes to God—and then she couldn’t go through with the abortion.”
Happy feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. This feast makes us reflect on how often it is the humble, lowly, self-effacing people who are singled out by God for special graces needed to carry out special spiritual assignments.
The Land Down Under has just sunk a little lower, with passage of a bill to support cloning of human beings for purposes of experimentation. Trampling over the moral issues and the belief that human beings should not be used as guinea pigs for medical experiments, Australian pragmatists decided that being out in front in the race for medical triumphs was more important than adhering to the basic principles of justice.
Planned Parenthood Chicago just can’t get it out of its craw—that anyone would have the audacity to question their golden calf, contraception. How dare we!
In their recent fund-raising letter, Steve Trombley says that “even contraception is at risk. The Pro-Life Action League held an anti-birth control conference in Rosemont called ‘Contraception is not the Answer’— another example of anti-abortion forces reaching into the most personal areas of women’s lives.”
Turn to page 90 in your November 20th issue of Newsweek and see a beautiful photograph of an unborn baby in its mother’s womb. It’s an article from their “TipSheet” section telling expectant mothers that it is safer than previously thought to have amniocentesis if you’re trying to discover if your baby has Downs Syndrome.
The appointment of Eric Keroack of Marblehead, MA as the new chief of family-planning programs at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has driven liberals wild.
The editors of the pro-abortion Chicago Sun-Times, for example, put it this way:
You would have to search far and wide to find someone more ardently opposed to birth control and other women’s rights than Dr. Eric Keroack, for whom any sex education beyond abstinence counseling is a no-no.
