Earlier last year Jack Hitt, a reporter for the New York Times, wrote an article attempting to explain the horrors of criminalized abortion, using the case of a woman who was allegedly put in jail in El Salvador for having an abortion. LifeSiteNews investigated this story and, in November, wrote an article exposing the truth. The woman was in fact … Read More
Pro-Life New Year’s Resolutions
Human Life International has some suggestions of resolutions that you can make to defend life in 2007: 1.

Mary the Mother of God
Today was the Solemnity of Mary the Mother of God. Like the feast of the Holy Family, this special feast, which celebrates the motherhood of Mary, calls to mind the importance of family, with an emphasis on the beauty and sanctity of motherhood.

The Greatest Destroyer of Peace
This coming January 1 is World Day of Peace 2007.

Unborn Child Pain Act Falls Short
Although a marjority of Representatives voted in favor of the bill the vote fell short of the two-thirds needed to pass under parlimentary procedure. While I’m glad that there was a majority in favor, I am pretty disappointed that this did not pass. We’re dismembering our children in the womb and we won’t inform the mother that this horrific procedure … Read More
Unborn Child Pain Awareness
Legislative alert! The House of Representatives is supposed to vote on the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act today. I’ve got C-Span on right now and they have just begun debate on the bill.

Common Sense
Like parental notification for minors and a 24 hr. waiting period, it is just common sense for abortion clinics to have annual safety inspections. Apparently Alabama is just now figuring that out.
