Former ‘Catholics’ for Free Choice President Frances Kissling writes at RH Reality Check lamenting that not enough poor women are killing their babies: We all know the stats: 25 percent or so of women on Medicaid who would choose abortions end up having babies instead, most in poverty with little chance of getting out of it. Some women who don’t … Read More
Planned Parenthood and Your Tax Dollars
For the past six years the federal government has been funding abortion organizations, to the tune of $1 BILLION. So, it should come as no big surprise that, according to Planned Parenthood’s recently released 2008-2009 Annual Report, you, the tax payer, are one of the largest financial contributors to America’s largest abortion provider. It may not be a big surprise, … Read More
The Culture of Death and the Magesterium of Me
Awful. In Canada a couple opted to have one of their unborn children killed for no other reason than that having twins just did not fit into the “perfect” life they had laid out for themselves (h/t Rebecca Taylor). From the National Post: Like so many other couples these days, the Toronto-area business executive and her husband put off having … Read More
Pro-Aborts Say the Darndest Things!
Jill Stanek has a great round-up of this weekend’s pro-life related articles. The one that peeked my interest: “28 Revolting Quotes That Define the Pro-Abortion Left” at NewsRealblog.com. The worst this time of year has to be this one from The Abortioners encouraging readers to help poor pregnant women get abortions this Christmas season: Unfortunately, this time of year can … Read More

The Duties of the Pregnant Woman
This is a very interesting excerpt from St. John-Marie Vianney’s sermon on The Duties of the Pregnant Woman. I’m not sure how big of a problem abortion was in France in the early 19th century, but it looks like that’s what he’s addressing in the second paragraph. How sad it is that we actually have to tell women that one … Read More
Time to Vote!
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the most enthusiastic voter. Politics sucks and it seems like no one can be trusted. But, voting is our duty and a sacred honor and we can’t really complain about the outcome if we don’t at least try to influence it with our own vote. I have heard from many people … Read More
Music for Your Monday: Unborn Child
I never intended for this to become a regular thing here, but I keep coming across some great songs worth sharing. Thanks to a friend of mine for posting this video on his Facebook page this weekend. As much of a 70s music fan as I am, I am not totally familiar with Seals & Crofts, except for their song … Read More
Would Human Clones Have Souls?
Catholic apologist Tim Staples gives an excellent answer to the question “do clones have souls?” (h/t The Deeps of Time): Once an embryo has been created through Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (the cloning process) using a human egg and human somatic cell, a new, living organism comes into being that is biologically, genetically human (note: this has been done before … Read More
Lessons From a Little Flower Redux
Four years ago, I started this blog as an extension of my pro-life apostolate. As you’ve probably noticed, I also write a lot about suffering and the Cross. That’s because it has been my observation after several years of pro-life advocacy that one of the underlying causes of the culture of death (abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, cloning/ESCR) is a desire … Read More
