Thinking about abortion differently

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said:

'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My

baby is not even 1 yr. old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so

close together.'

So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?'

She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.'

The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the

lady:

'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous

for you too.'

She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.

Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care

of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This

way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to

kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no

risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.

The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime

to kill a child!

'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be ok with it, so I

thought maybe that was the best solution.

The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.

He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child

that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is

the same!

If you agree, please forward. Together we can help save precious lives!

This was sent out by a counselor from Lebanon, Ohio... I like this---it is a good lesson. Abortion is murder and we should call it by it's correct name and dispel this notion of "choice."

A Call for a Rosary Novena
By Fr. John Corapi
www.fathercorapi.com
Among the most important titles we have in the Catholic Church for the Blessed Virgin Mary are Our
Lady of Victory and Our Lady of the Rosary. These titles can be traced back to one of the most decisive
times in the history of the world and Christendom. The Battle of Lepanto took place on October 7 (date
of feast of Our Lady of Rosary), 1571. This proved to be the most crucial battle for the Christian forces
against the radical Muslim navy of Turkey. Pope Pius V led a procession around St. Peter's Square in
Vatican City praying the Rosary. He showed true pastoral leadership in recognizing the danger posed to
Christendom by the radical Muslim forces, and in using the means necessary to defeat it. Spiritual
battles require spiritual weapons, and this more than anything was a battle that had its origins in the
spiritual order—a true battle between good and evil.
Today we have a similar spiritual battle in progress—a battle between the forces of good and evil, light
and darkness, truth and lies, life and death. If we do not soon stop the genocide of abortion in the
United States, we shall run the course of all those that prove by their actions that they are enemies of
God—total collapse, economic, social, and national. The moral demise of a nation results in the ultimate
demise of a nation. God is not a disinterested spectator to the affairs of man. Life begins at conception.
This is an unalterable formal teaching of the Catholic Church. If you do not accept this you are a heretic
in plain English. A single abortion is homicide. The more than 48,000,000 abortions since Roe v. Wade in
the United States constitute genocide by definition. The group singled out for death—unwanted, unborn
children.
No other issue, not all other issues taken together, can constitute a proportionate reason for
voting for candidates that intend to preserve and defend this holocaust of innocent human
life that is abortion.
I strongly urge every one of you to make a Novena and pray the Rosary to Our Lady of Victory
between October 27th and Election Day. Pray that God's will be done and the
most innocent and utterly vulnerable of our brothers and sisters will be protected from this
barbaric and grossly sinful blight on society that is abortion. No woman, and no man, has the
right to choose to murder an innocent human being.
May God grant us the wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and counsel to form our conscience in
accordance with authentic Catholic teaching, and then vote that well‐formed Catholic conscience.

What the Popes Really Say About Socialism

Voting--Do you vote for poor or babies?

If you know that an unborn fetus is truly a person, a baby, who has a beating heart, then why do you put your own fears ahead of these little innocents?

Even if you thought a republican could jeopardize your job, your pay, your house and the houses of many thousands of others, is all that worth the life of innocent babies?

If I said to you, "Slavery is just a fact of life. Get over it. I'd rather vote for a man who is pro-slavery than risk what might happen to the economy and to the poor," you'd think I was a nut. You know slavery is so bad that you couldn't vote for anyone who is pro-slavery; so why do you willingly vote for a candidate who is pro-choice? Isn't the killing of innocent helpless people much worse than enslavement of innocent people?

Think about it. Are your own worries more important than babies' lives?

Vote Pro-Life First. Everything else is secondary.

When you die and have to answer to God about how you helped to build His kingdom, do you really want to say that you supported the poor and the lower classes by voting for candidates who helped them? How do you think Jesus will react? What will you say when Jesus shows you all the innocent blood that was shed because of the candidates you voted for? What is more heroic--saving lives of millions or helping the poor?

St. Gregory the Great, whom no one has more admirably described the pastoral office, writes in the same sense: "Those," he says, "who are zealous in the work of preaching must never cease the study of the written word of God."(20) St. Augustine, however, warns us that "vainly does the preacher utter the Word of God exteriorly unless he listens to it interiorly;"(21) and St. Gregory instructs sacred orators "first to find in Holy Scripture the knowledge of themselves, and then to carry it to others, lest in reproving others they forget themselves."(22)

Message, 25. January 2011

"Dear children! Also today I am with you and I am looking at you and blessing you, and I am not losing hope that this world will change for the good and that peace will reign in the hearts of men. Joy will begin to reign in the world because you have opened yourselves to my call and to God's love. The Holy Spirit is changing a multitude of those who have said 'yes'. Therefore I desire to say to you: thank you for having responded to my call."
