A CRY FOR JUSTICE!

Christians Answer O'Reilly's Call For Protests At Late-term Abortion Mill

Leaders of 1991 "Summer of Mercy" return to Wichita for "A Cry for Justice"

Wichita, KS - Jan 17, 2007 Christians from across the nation are making their ways to Wichita, KS for four days of pro-life activism focusing on late-term abortionist George R. Tiller on January 19-22.

Included are the majority of members from the original Operation Rescue leadership team that made Wichita, Kansas, the focus of the abortion battle for six weeks during the summer of 1991, including Rev. Pat Mahoney, Jeff White, Mike McMonagle, and Joseph Slovenic.

Fox News host Bill O'Reilly has recently focused several segments of his popular show, "The O'Reilly Factor," on Tiller's late-term abortion business and its questionable legality.

O'Reilly said on his program, "You know, I've been covering the news in America for 30 years and this Kansas situation is the worst thing I've ever seen. . . Americans cannot turn away from this; cannot ignore it. There should be thousands of people demonstrating outside Tiller's abortion clinic in Wichita."

The group plans to call for 30 criminal charges against Tiller involving illegal late term abortions to be reinstated. The charges were filed by former Attorney General Phill Kline on December 21, but were dismissed the following day after pro-abortion District Attorney Nola Foulston intervened in the case and persuaded a judge to dismiss the charges on technical jurisdictional grounds.

Kline has since been replaced and the special prosecutor that he assigned to the case has been fired by pro-abortion Attorney General Paul Morrison.

"We simply cannot be silent and allow Tiller's cronies to sweep this matter under the rug. We are talking about allegations that Tiller is illegally killing viable babies in the latest stages of pregnancy that Kansas law has been enacted to protect," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "We are simply asking for the authorities in Kansas to enforce the law and allow Tiller have his day in court. Let the allegations come forth and let the witnesses be heard. We are convinced that the charges against Tiller are credible and deserve a public hearing. Innocent lives literally depend on it."

LIFE IS SACRED

An example of the traditional magisterial teaching which indicates that it is never morally licit to intentionally kill a child through abortion in order to “save the life of its mother” comes from the teaching of Pope Pius XII:

“Every human being, even the infant in the mother's womb, has the right to life immediately from God, not from the parent or any human society or authority. Therefore, there is no man, no human authority, no science, no medical, eugenic, social, economic or moral ‘indication’ that can show or give valid juridical title for direct deliberate disposition concerning an innocent human life-which is to say, a disposition that aims at its destruction either as an end in itself or as the means of attaining another end that is perhaps in no way illicit itself. Thus, for example, to save the life of the mother is a most noble end, but the direct killing of the child as a means to this end is not licit.”
