DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

From California Catholic Daily:

Win up to $1000

Sarah's Law backers sponsoring YouTube video contest to promote initiative

Proponents of Sarah's Law, the latest version of an initiative requiring family involvement in a minor's abortion, are sponsoring a YouTube video contest with prizes up to $1000.

Although the initiative will appear on the California ballot in November, contestants need not be from California – or the United States for that matter, sponsors said.

All entries must be received by Monday, June 30, and should be sent to info@FriendsofSarah.com. Entries should be in the form of a posting to YouTube, and the url of the YouTube submission must accompany all entries.

"Make your own TV ad," says an announcement of the contest. "With YouTube technology, anyone can make a 30- or 60-second ad -- use the story of a young girl you know, make a spoof of arguments from the other side, use animation, use materials already on FriendsofSarah.com and dramatize them."

First place prize for the Friends of Sarah YouTube Video Contest is $1000. The 2nd and 3rd place prize is $500, and four honorable mention prizes of $250 each will be awarded.

If sufficient money is raised for advertising later in the campaign, winning videos may air on television.
