MEDIA ADVISORY, Oct. 8 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following statements by Human Life International are released by Personhood Missouri:
Stephen Phelan of Human Life International states:
I know I speak for everyone at HLI when I say that we are proud to endorse the Personhood Missouri initiative. Either every human being is a person from the moment of biological development to the point of natural death, or personhood is a meaningless concept bestowed upon the wanted, and denied the unwanted. God bless all in Missouri and around the world who work to defend this basic human truth.
Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, President, Human Life International states:
Let us bear witness to the Truth, honor and glorify God, and stand in harm's way for the lives and souls of the children.
Whether our personal character, boldness, fortitude, and courage can actually demonstrate what we have been given the grace to know to be true is another issue altogether. I will paraphrase Father John Corapi in this very important Truth for Christians. "Every Christian faithful to the Gospel, has the moral obligation to bear witness to the truth, 'in season and out of season, convenient or inconvenient,' accepted or rejected. This mandate is nothing new, of course, it's as old as the Old Testament, and as new as the New Testament. Nonetheless, I'm afraid that it has become more necessary than ever to remind ourselves of it."
Listen to the wisdom of Solomon, "Whatever you do, do it with all of your might, for there will be no work, or planning, or knowledge, or wisdom, in the grave, where you are going." Did I mention that you are going to die? What then?
"Laws which authorize and promote abortion and euthanasia are therefore radically opposed not only to the good of the individual but also to the common good; as such they are completely lacking in authentic juridical validity. Disregard for the right to life, precisely because it leads to the killing of the person whom society exists to serve, is what most directly conflicts with the possibility of achieving the common good." (John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae 72)
May your heart be encouraged to stand and contend for our faith, by helping Personhood Missouri with an amendment that will protect the "person" that has no voice. Help our stand with Jesus for the children. Please call to see how you can help in this effort. Love and prayers in Christ to your family, Dr. Gregory Thompson
