Reader and frequent commenter Young Christian Woman is starting a ministry called Stand and Be Counted, which encourages couples to name and spiritually adopt an aborted child. Her blog post on the new ministry is here. The Little Sisters of the Poor are looking for a few good young women. Sister Carolyn Martin has asked us to promote a series of vocation discernment retreats they’re sponsoring in several cities throughout the country this year. More information on the retreats is available here. Check out this joint statement — “It Started Here. Let It End Here.”:
We are three bloggers who also live in the Dallas area. We are deeply committed to ending abortion in this country. To that end, we have committed ourselves to the following: On each First Friday for the next eleven months, we will fast and pray before the Blessed Sacrament for an end to abortion… We ask anyone reading these words to join us. Fast and pray with us each First Friday, no matter how far removed you are from Dallas…
Dr. Miriam Grossman reminds us that abortion affects men, too. 
Dr. Grossman is the author of Unprotected: A Campus Psychiatrist Reveals How Political Correctness in Her Profession Endangers Every Student. It’s a great book — eye-opening, and just the right length. (I was able to read most of it during our 4-hour delay at O’Hare Airport last month while waiting to get to Washington for the March for Life.) This interview with Dr. Grossman gives a good flavor of the book.
